Configure a Windows user

The Data Collector for Backup Exec requires a Windows User with privileges to access the SQL Server that is hosting the Backup Exec database.

  1. Complete the worksheet found in the Appendix of this guide, providing configuration details for each backup server that will be polled by a Data Collector.

  2. Ensure that you have a Windows User that is a member of one of the following groups, either locally or as part of the Windows Domain:

    • the local Administrators group

    • a group named: SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$ServerName$BKUPEXEC

      where ServerName is the name of the server on which the SQL Server and Backup Exec reside, as shown in the following example.

  3. The user can be restricted within the context of Backup Exec by configuring the login account, as shown in the following example.
