Backup - No Admin permissions

[markiejd]

Hi,

can I use this

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE

on a client machines without local admin rights on the machine ?

I don't really want to give permissions for this ?

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

First: Welcome to the forums!

Second: This is currently not possible. It has been requested a few times already so consider this an additional vote for this functionality

Cheers

Hmmm,

On second thought, I might have given you the wrong answer depending on what you want to do... Do you simply want to be able to run the backups (and store the backups to a repository or a share) without the end-user being able to do something (including restore)? In that case, it is possible. You as an admin will need to do the installation and configuration but after that it can run even when a user is logged on without admin rights.

What exactly is your requirement?

Thanks for that Mike

yes all I want to do is be able to backup to maybe a USB Drive or NAS and do a full image so we can restore if required. why can they not do a restore without admin rights ? The ultimate goal is they don't have admin rights to do a backup but to do a restore one person in the office could have an admin account so they could restore ?


Thanks,

When they don't have admin rights, they cannot open the control panel so they can't restore anything at that moment.
