User privilages on NBU clients

Hello Everyone,

Most of my clients are linux servers

Every time I troubleshoot these clients regarding any issue I use the root account to do some stuff as below:

  1. edit /etc/hosts
  2. running netbackup commands
  3. creating log directories under /usr/openv/netbackup/logs

and more like that

 

The question is, what is the privilages/permissions that my user account needs to be equivilant to the root user for netbackup managment on the client servers.

Appreciating the Help.

Thanks

Linux

    You could setup "sudo" to give you root-like permissions when executing commands that require root rights or just switch to root via "su -".

    Linux/Unix - require root rights to run most things netbackup related.

    Windows - require admin rights to run most things netbackup related.
