Configuring NetVault Backup user account

When backing up multiple volumes, the plug-in uses the “default” user account to run child jobs.

To configure password for the “default” user account:
1
Start the Backup Job Wizard, and click Create New next to the Selections list.
2
Open the NetVault Backup Server, and then open NDMP Client.
3
Select the filer, and in the Actions list, click Set Account.

In the NetVault Account dialog box, provide the following information:
•
Account: Type default, which is the user account used to run subjobs.
