BackupExec and SQL 2005 backup folders:

  • I have a network admin that has been asking me to create a local admin account on a clustered server for backing up a folder with sql backups::

    Here is the deal:

    I do not want him to run an agent backing up my sql databases, that will break my backup chain and you know that. Also, I do not want him to have an admin right to that clustered server.

    Therefore, all I wanted him to do was to backup a FOLDER on the D or Y drive and get it over with.

    I just don't understand why I have to give him the server admin rights.

    can anyone explain this crazy thing to me.

    thx

    p.s. I know that I can have an SSIS to copy 15 gig folders to another server with the fastest transfer rate and have them backing up those folders on server B. But, I am just curious and that was bugging me. you know how it is right..?
