Configuring the logon account for the NetBackup Legacy Network Service (Exchange 2010)
Note:
Previous to NetBackup 7.6, for Exchange 2010 DAG configurations you had to configure the logon account for NetBackup Legacy Network Service. The logon account required permission to perform Exchange database operations and granular (GRT) operations. This configuration is no longer required; configure the Exchange credentials in the client host properties. Veritas recommends that you use this new configuration, though existing NetBackup customers can continue to configure the logon account for this service.
By default, the NetBackup Legacy Network Service uses "Local System" account to log on. A different account is required so NetBackup has the necessary local system privileges to perform Exchange 2010 DAG backups.
Note the following:
Perform the steps on each mailbox server in the DAG.
For restores with GRT, configure each client that performs granular operations. To determine which clients to configure, see the following topic:
