Veritas NetBackup™ for Microsoft SharePoint Server Administrator's Guide

Configuring the logon account for the NetBackup Legacy Network Service for NetBackup for SharePoint

For SharePoint 2013 and earlier, the NetBackup Legacy Network Service must log on with an account that has local administrator and SharePoint farm administrator privileges. For SharePoint 2016, the NetBackup Legacy Network Service must log on with the Local System account.

In Windows Services, configure the service properties for the host(s) where the Index Files or Index database(s) and where the document libraries reside. For the backups that use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), configure this service on all SQL back-end servers.

To configure the logon account for the NetBackup Legacy Network Service

  1. Open the Windows Services application.
  2. Double-click on the NetBackup Legacy Network Service entry.
  3. Click on the Log On tab.
  4. For the Log on as account, provide one of the following:
    • For SharePoint 2016, select the Local System account.

    • For SharePoint 2013 and earlier, provide the account name that has local administrator and SharePoint farm administrator privileges.

  5. Type the password.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Stop and start the NetBackup Legacy Network Service.
  8. Close the Services control panel application.
