Netbackup 6.0 Services

[Julie_Ulrich]

Do the Netbackup 6.0 services on a Windows 2003 Master server need to run as Administrator? I recently have been to a couple of storage security seminars and they suggested that you not run the Netbackup services with admistrator access if you don't have to. So I am trying to find out if I have to with Netbackup 6.0

I think it is best not to muck with Netbackup more than you have to. keep in mind that security people are a paranoid bunch. If you setup your environment ie.. firewall and routers properly, or at least do a good job at it, and a hack gets in, I think a Netbackup exploit will not be your greatest concern.

I'm pretty sure that you have to run the NBU services with a LOCAL administrator account (not necessarily a Domain Admin though).

Yes, Security folk can be overly concerned about stuff sometimes, but can you blame em? I mean, it's kind of their job ...
