windows backup operator group

[HannibalK1ng]

Hi everyone,

So I realized when adding a new server to our environment that we have previously added the backup user to the servers local administrator group.

I then added the backup user to the backup administrators group but get the following error

: Error: Failed to connect to guest agent. Errors: 'Cannot connect to the admin share.

Is there a reason this doesnt work?
Does everyone else add the user to the local admin for the server?

any security concerns doing it this way?

Thanks!
