Upgrading Backup Agent

You can use the Recovery Manager Console to selectively upgrade Backup Agent preinstalled on the computers added to a Computer Collection. Note that you can only upgrade Backup Agent to the version supplied with the Recovery Manager Console you are using.

You can only perform this operation on already discovered preinstalled instances of the Backup Agent. For more information, see Discovering preinstalled Backup Agent.

To upgrade Backup Agent

  1. In the Recovery Manager Console tree, select the Backup Agent Management node.

  2. In the right pane, right-click the computer on which you want to upgrade the agent.

  3. From the shortcut menu, select Upgrade Backup Agent and wait for the upgrade operation to complete.

 

Uninstalling Backup Agent

You can use the Recovery Manager Console to uninstall Backup Agent preinstalled on a computer added to a Computer Collection. You can only perform this operation on discovered instances of the Backup Agent. For more information, see Discovering preinstalled Backup Agent.

To uninstall Backup Agent

  1. In the Recovery Manager Console tree, select the Backup Agent Management node.

  2. In the right pane, right-click the computer from which you want to uninstall Backup Agent.

  3. From the shortcut menu, select Uninstall Backup Agent and wait for the uninstall operation to complete.

After the uninstallation operation completes, RMAD removes the uninstalled Backup Agent entry from the list in the Backup Agent Management node.

 

Removing a Backup Agent entry from the Backup Agent Management node

You can selectively remove Backup Agent entries from the list provided in the Backup Agent Management node. Removing a Backup Agent entry from that list does not affect the corresponding preinstalled agent instance in any way. Rather, it removes the agent’s registration information from the Recovery Manager Console.

You may want remove a Backup Agent entry from the list when, for example, you have uninstalled the corresponding Backup Agent instance from the computer without using the Recovery Manager Console, and the agent entry remained in the Backup Agent Management node.

To remove a Backup Agent entry

  1. In the Recovery Manager Console tree, select the Backup Agent Management node.

  2. In the right pane, right-click the Backup Agent entry you want to remove from the list.

  3. From the shortcut menu, select Remove from List.

 

Using a least-privileged user account to back up data

You can configure Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) to back up data in an Active Directory® domain under a least-privileged user account. A least-privileged user account is an account that has no other permissions except for those required to back up data with RMAD.

Using a least-privileged account to back up Active Directory® offers greater protection from unwanted changes to your Active Directory® environment, security attacks, or unsolicited access to sensitive documents or settings.

To run backup operations under a least-privileged user account, in the domain you want to back up, create an Active Directory® group named RMAD Backup Operators. Add the least-privileged user account you want to that group, and then preinstall the Backup Agent in the domain. As a result, members of the RMAD Backup Operators group are automatically granted the necessary permissions to back up data in the domain with RMAD.

To use a least-privileged user account for backup operations

  1. In the Active Directory® domain you want to back up, create a new Active Directory® group with the following name: RMAD Backup Operators

  2. To the RMAD Backup Operators group, add the least-privileged user account under which you want to back up the domain.

  3. On the domain controllers you want to back up, preinstall the Backup Agent version supplied with this release of RMAD.

    Make sure you first create the RMAD Backup Operators group, and then install the Backup Agent in the domain. During its installation, the agent locates that group and saves the group SID in the registry. Then the Backup Agent uses this group SID to check that the user account is a member of the RMAD Backup Operators group.

    If the Backup Agent supplied with this release is already preinstalled, you can repair the agent’s installation so that the agent could locate the RMAD Backup Operators group.

  4. Add the domain controllers on which you preinstalled the Backup Agent to a new Computer Collection.

  5. In the Computer Collection properties, on the Agent Settings tab, do the following:

    • Specify to access the Backup Agent with the least-privileged account you have added to the RMAD Backup Operators group.

    • Select the check box to use preinstalled Backup Agent. For more information, see Agent Settings tab subsection in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.

  6. Back up the Computer Collection.
