[wkl]

Hi,

I would like to backup AD server, but it seem it request domain admin permission for enable application-aware processing. Can i use backup operator instead of domain admin?

The account specified for guest OS processing must have local admin privileges (check this page for more information). Thanks.

Hi,

Yes I know. However, how to make server can run in backup client permission? As window is already created backup role, I think it may have some way to solve this issue. It is because, backup server have much password is not good. Also, we always auto change root password. Therefore, we have some difficult.

If we are backup successfully, I think we may use this backup image to recreate os processing.

Thanks

Not sure I understand your request. If you want to have consistent backup of your domain controller, you need to provide domain admin account and enable application-aware image processing.

Can veeam consider to use other way to backup? For example, per-install agent with admin right. Thus, backup server no need password to connect server and backup. It is because, Dominic admin account in backup server have security concerns

We're already installing runtime coordination process inside a guest to perform application-consistent backups. In order to do that we need account with certain set of permissions.

Since the coordination process is not persistent, meaning that it gets removed as soon as the job finishes, we have to store the credentials on a backup server.

Can you clarify the security concerns you have?

Thanks.

we need account with certain set of permissions <--we look for a solution thatit do not require admin right. IS it possible that veeam can change window server setting to fit our requirement? if agent (with admin right) can provide related feature. For example, use access web page , which root permission is not required.

Currently the only way to have application consistent backup is to use account with local admin privileges.

As to your feature request, consider it noted.

Thanks.
