Backup Admin account sugestions

[Guest Alien]

I created BackupAdmin account in domain, assinged account to be member

od Backup Operators and Domain Admins. I used complex password. I

configure all backup procedures to run via Backup Admin user.

Purpose of this account is to serve only for backup needs or for

starting services. Password will not be changing for this account.

 

I would like also to implement policy for this account to deny logon

locally and interactivly.

Should I fall in trap here causing services and scheduled tasks to

stop?

Any suggestions?

Hello alien,

 

First, if you make this account Domain admin, this is the highest level you

can make. He is also aible to do backups. I would suggest you use only the

Backup Operators group and if the account does not work like expected, backup

fails, then search for the additional needed rights. So check allways to

run the jobs with the minimum rights for your own security, even it needs

more work to figure out your needs. In the backup job logs, you will get

infos like access denied and can search then for the right solutions.

 

Best regards
