NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

Enabling multiperson authorization

Multiperson authorization protects your environment from malicious acts by ensuring that a second authorized user approves a potentially undesirable action.

How to enable multiperson authorization:

  • Flex Appliance

    Multiperson authorization is required by default to delete NetBackup application instances on versions 10.3.0.1 and 19.0.1 and later. It is also required for WORM storage server instances on version 19.0 in some scenarios. It cannot be disabled.

  • NetBackup

    See Workflow to configure multiperson authorization for NetBackup operations.

This feature is not currently available for NetBackup Appliance.
