Backup Exec Default Logon Account

fgyee
Not applicable
My BAckup Exec is 11.x version.

Does this Logon account has to be domain user ID with local administrator right?
When I install Backup Exec, it will ask to to create a new system logon account. Do I have to create an account from ADUC in advance for Backup Exec? In Adminnistrator Guide, it didn't mention it very clear.

In practice, the backup operators will have an individual logon account setup for them or they can share one system logoon account?

Thanks a lot.

If you're backing up in domain environment, you could use domain account who has domain admins permissions. I recommend to use unique user account for BE, so you should create it to AD, add to domain admins, set password never expire.

Yea, all security guys says no no that's not the way to do it, but if you're backing up many servers in domain, Exchange and so on, you really dont have that many options.
