Creating a Backup Exec logon account
You can create Backup Exec logon accounts using the Logon Account Wizard, which guides you through the creation of a Backup Exec logon account, or by using the Logon Account Management dialog box. You can enter Backup Exec logon account property information when you create the Backup Exec logon account. However, Backup Exec assigns the Backup Exec logon account owner to the user name you used to log on to Backup Exec. The owner of the Backup Exec logon account cannot be modified.
This topic includes the following information:
To create a Backup Exec logon account using the Logon Account Wizard
To create a Backup Exec logon account manually
To create a Backup Exec logon account using the Logon Account Wizard
- Click the Backup Exec button, and then select Configuration and Settings.
- Select Logon Accounts, and then select Logon Account Wizard.
- Click Add a new logon account, and then click Next.
- Type a user name and password.
- Click Next.
- In the Logon account name field, type the unique name for the Backup Exec logon account.
- Under Make this account, select whether you want the account to be a common logon account or a restricted logon account.
Common logon accounts are the shared accounts that all users can access. Restricted logon accounts can only be used by the owner of the logon account or by those who know the password.
- If you want to make this the default logon account that is used to browse, make selections, and restore data on your local computers and remote computers, select The default logon account.
- Click Next.
- Review the options that you selected, and then click Finish to create the logon account.
To create a Backup Exec logon account manually
- Click the Backup Exec button, and then select Configuration and Settings.
- Select Logon Accounts, and then select Manage Logon Accounts.
- Click Add.
- In the User name field, type the fully qualified user name for the Backup Exec logon account.
For example, type "DOMAIN\Administrator".
The user name is provided when you attempt to connect to a computer. The user name is not case-sensitive for the computers that are accessed.
- In the Password field, type the password for the account.
The password you enter is encrypted for security. You can leave this field blank if this Backup Exec logon account does not need a password.
- In the Confirm password field, type the password again to verify it.
- In the Account name field, type the unique name for the Backup Exec logon account.
- In the Notes field, type any optional notes to explain how the Backup Exec logon account is used.
- Select This is a restricted logon account if you want the Backup Exec logon account to be used only by the owner of the logon account and those who know the password.
If this option is not selected, the Backup Exec logon account is created as a common account. Common accounts are the shared accounts that all users can access.
- Select This is my default account to make this account your default Backup Exec logon account, which is used to browse, make selections, or restore data on your local computers and remote computers.
