I run Veritas 9.1 on a Windows 2000 server which backs up around 180 Gb every night. Since I started we have been using the domain adamin account to do the backup. Now I need to chnage this to a backup account. I have changed this within backup exec but all I get is access denied on the backup resourses. (Error: a000848c to be exact).
The backup account has local admin and backup priviliages on all backup resourses, but still no joy. If though I add the backup account to the domain admains group I have no problems. I have also tried to re-install the backup RM agents on all target machines again no joy their.
Please let us know what kind of Backup job operation are you trying to perform, please elaborate if it’s Local or Remote system backup or an Exchange or SQL backup?
