NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Managing users from the deduplication shell

After you configure a WORM or an MSDP storage server, you can use the deduplication shell to add and manage additional users.

The following types of users are supported:

  • Local users

    Local users for the storage server are managed from the deduplication shell for products other than NetBackup Flex Scale. For NetBackup Flex Scale, use the NetBackup Flex Scale management console. All users with the appliance administrator role have access to the deduplication shell.

  • MSDP users

  • Active Directory (AD) users for Universal Shares and Instant Access
