About NetBackup SAN Client support for agents

The SAN Client feature uses shared memory for data transfer. If you use a NetBackup agent on a SAN client, the agent must have privileges to read and write from that shared memory.

Ensure that the agent has the appropriate privileges, as follows:

  • On UNIX systems, install the NetBackup agent using the same user account under which NetBackup is installed.

  • On Windows SAN clients, ensure that the NetBackup agent and the SAN Client Fibre Transport Service use the same account (that is, Log On As). The account must have Act as a part of the operating system privilege enabled. By default, only the Local System account has the Act as a part of the operating system privilege enabled.

SAN Client does not support the following type of agent backups:

  • Microsoft SharePoint

  • Enterprise Vault

  • Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Group (DAG) or Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) backups through a passive node of an Exchange cluster.
