You must use an account with share point admin privileges and not system account.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU6 and Sharepoint accounts

 

Hi,

 

We're looking to back up Sharepoint Portal 2003 and I've noticed a strange bit in the VERITAS Sharepoint 2003 admin guide. Step 4 seems to suggest if local account is not used then it's all finished and shouldn't be configured:

 

Configuring the NetBackup Client Service Log On Account
To backup the SharePoint Index databases or Document Libraries, the NetBackup Client Service must be authorized to run as the SharePoint administrator. In Windows Services, configure the NetBackup Client Service properties for the host(s) where the Index database(s) or Document Libraries reside.
▼ To verify or modify the Log On account for the NetBackup Client service
1.Open the Windows Services application.
2.Double-click on the NetBackup Client Service entry.
3.Click on the Log On tab.
4.If the local system account is not selected as the Log on as account, proceed with step 7.
5.Provide the name of the account authorized to run as the SharePoint administrator.
Note To change this account, you must have administrator group privileges.
6.Stop and start the NetBackup Client Service.
7.Close the Services control panel application.

 

Is this a typo? Surely any account could be set for NBU Client Service logon so it seems strange that any account other than local system is OK given step 5. Step 4 would make more sense to me without the word 'not'.

I suppose what I'm asking in a roundabout way is 'is the local system account OK to have as the NetBackup Client service account?'

 

Cheers,
