Configuring SQL Server hosts and user permissions
The following table contains the prerequisites for users to run SQL Server backups and restores.
Table: Prerequisites for NetBackup hosts and user permissions
Step | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | If you plan to perform VMware backups to protect SQL Server, install the Veritas VSS provider. | |
Step 2 | Assign users to the necessary RBAC roles. | |
Step 3 | Add the necessary SQL Server credentials. | Add the SQL Server credentials that you need for database discovery and the credentials to perform recovery. |
Step 4 | Configure the NetBackup Client Service and the NetBackup Legacy Network Service. | This configuration allows access to the SQL Server when NetBackup performs backups and restores. See Configuring the NetBackup services for SQL Server backups and restores. |
Step 5 | Configure any necessary local security privileges. | For SQL Server credentials that use the option , an account other than Local System requires additional local security privileges.These privileges are necessary since the NetBackup for SQL Server agent logs on as the SQL Server user when it accesses data. |
Step 6 | Approve each valid host mapping that NetBackup discovers. | NetBackup automatically discovers many shared names and cluster names that are associated with the NetBackup hosts in your environment. Perform this configuration in on the primary server.Refer to the information on configuring host mappings in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide. Or, contact your NetBackup administrator for assistance. |
