Backup Script permission issue.

Srinivasan
Level 4


Environment Ev 8 SP2
exchange Server 2007
windows server 2008

Issues:
1. Backup application is using Backup user account to run the backup service and to take the Enterprise Vault backup.
2. To run this backup script. We have given storage administrator permission in EV administration console. Only the Vault stores are setting backup mode. Not
    the index volumes.
3. If we given the power administrator permission for the backup account then the script is running successfully.

My question is

1.How to add Enterprise vault or power administrator acconts into this script as "run as" by the backup account ?

2.Is the best practice to give power administrato permission for backup account to run this script?

Backup Script.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -PSConsolefile "C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\EVShell.psc1" -command "& {Set-VaultStoreBackupMode –name 'Express Vault Store Group' -evservername server1 –evobjecttype vaultstoregroup}"

The documentation says to put the Backup User Account into the Storage Admin role.  That should give him all the rights he needs to put EV in backup mode.

Yes, that is the best practice.
