This account must have access to the CIFS shares that are created on the NetApp disk array.
Note the following when you configure the logon account for the NetBackup Client Service:
You do not need to configure the logon account for the NetBackup Client Service if you restore databases. Nor do you need to configure the account if you browse or restore granular items from a disk image.
