Configuring the logon account for the NetBackup Client Service for NetBackup for SharePoint
For SharePoint 2013 and earlier, the NetBackup Client Service must log on with an account that has local administrator and SharePoint farm administrator privileges. For SharePoint 2016, the NetBackup Client Service must log on with the Local System account. In Windows Services, configure the properties for the service for the host(s) where the Index Files or Index database(s) and where the document libraries reside. For any backups that use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), configure this service on all SQL back-end servers.
Note:
For VMware backups and restores, configure the NetBackup Client Service on the systems that you use to browse for backups and the systems you use to perform restores.
