    Hi,

    1. There is no impact, other than the potential continued backups of the VMs which would be a positive.
    2. From a netbackup point of view, either is fine, as long as it provides the required access.
    3. It would need the same permissions you've got on the local account
    4. Just update the account in the credential section.
