Hey all,
To backup the System State on a DC (or for the option to even appear) the user has to have both of the following permissions:
- Back up files and directories
- Restore files and directories
The permission to "Back up files and directories" is self-evident, but why would a user also need the permission to "Restore files and directories"??
My current customer wants a particular account to be able to perform backups, but not restorations. If a need arises, the customer was planning on changing the backup account's permissions at that time to grant them the right to perform a restoration, or use an account that does have restoration rights.
Anyone have the inside scoop on the rationale behind these required permissions?? This isn't a show-stopper for me; I'm simply curious as to why restore permissions would be required in order to take a backup.
