Minimum Permissions for Netbackup-Virtual Center Service Account

[kasvis]

Hi All -

   Does anyone know on what is the minimum permissions required on the Virtual Center for the netbackup service account?.

   I am bit reluctant to provide Full permissions to the account in the Virtual Center.I remember reading in some forum that the restore works only with Full permissions.Is it true?.

Refers to 6.5.3 and VCB but should be the same still

and in addition to that, check this note if you want to use BLIB, one more right/privilege to add

Thanks Riaan.

I found another link http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH130493 which mentioned the exact permissions and it worked.
