Adding credentials to access a share that needs to be backed up

SysAdminNewbie
Not applicable

I have a cifs share that was currently being backed up with no problem, due to the fact that 'Everyone' had permissions to the share.  Now we're locking it down, as for a security goes, and I need to give specific access to one service account so we can once again back up that share.  Since I am a new administrator and I have just started working with Netbackup I would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to do so.

Thanks

Once you have chosen the account that will have access, go into the services and find the NetBackup Client Service and change the account that it runs under to the new account that has access to that cifs share.

 

A note: That account will need access to any other files on the client that you want to backup with NetBackup too!!!!
