Using BE Administrator with non-admin accounts

[MitchR]

I have BE 10 for Windows Servers installed & working well on a server. I have on my desktop the BE Administrator.

When starting the BE Administrator, I am promted for a user ID at the "Connect to Media Server" prompt. If I use an account with Domain Admin rights, I can connect. I'd like to setup a non-admin login ID to view backup jobs, see what tapes are in the library, etc.

I'm not talking about the acount BE uses - just the account I use to get into the administrator.

Thanks!

Hello,

You need to have administrator rights in order to backup and restore. Refer to the following technote for more information:

If you don't want to actually "administer" BackupExec, but just monitor it, reply to Alerts, and possible release previously defined jobs, take a look at ExecView, rather than RemoteAdministrator
