NetBackup™ Web UI Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Configuring SQL Server hosts and user permissions

The following table contains the prerequisites for users to run SQL Server backups and restores.

Table: Prerequisites for NetBackup hosts and user permissions

Step

Action

Description

Step 1

If you plan to perform VMware backups to protect SQL Server, install the Veritas VSS provider.

See Installing the Veritas VSS provider for vSphere.

Step 2

Configure the NetBackup Client Service and the NetBackup Legacy Network Service to access the SQL Server when NetBackup performs backups and restores.

See Configuring the NetBackup services for SQL Server backups and restores.

Step 3

If you want to use the option Use these specific credentials for SQL server credentials, an account other than Local System requires certain local security privileges.

These privileges are necessary since the NetBackup for SQL Server agent logs on as the SQL Server user when it accesses data.

See Configure local security privileges for SQL Server.

Step 4

Approve each valid host mapping that NetBackup discovers.

NetBackup automatically discovers many shared names and cluster names that are associated with the NetBackup hosts in your environment. Perform this configuration in Security > Hosts on the master server.

Refer to the information on configuring host mappings in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide. Or, contact your NetBackup administrator for assistance.
