Configure local security privileges for SQL Server
If you use the option for instance or for replica credentials, an account other than Local System requires certain local security privileges. These privileges are necessary since the NetBackup for SQL Server agent logs on as the SQL Server user when it accesses data.
Note:
This configuration applies to local security privileges only. For domain-level privileges, contact your domain administrator.
To configure the local security privileges
- Open the Local Security Policy.
- Click Local Policies.
- In the User Rights Assignment, add the account to the following policies:
Act as part of the operating system
Create a token object
Impersonate a client after authentication
Replace a process level token
- Restart the SQL Server.
- If the NetBackup Client Service and the NetBackup Legacy Network Service use this account to log on, restart these services.
- (non-VMware backups) For a SQL Server cluster, configure the local security privileges on each node in the cluster. For SQL Server availability groups, configure the services on all replicas where you want to run backups.
