NetVault 13.2 - Administration Guide


	IMPORTANT: Regardless of your selection here, if the Retirement Timing Control option for Media Manager is set to Force Always, the savesets are removed immediately. For more information about this global setting, see Configuring retirement rules for dependent backups.

To delete savesets from tape-based storage devices:

In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.

On the Explore Storage page, click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape, and click Explore Media.

In the saveset list, select one or more savesets that you want to delete, and click Remove Savesets.

In the Remove Saveset dialog box, select the Remove all duplicates associated with this saveset check box if you also want to remove the Duplicates of the selected saveset.

Under Select removal timing option, specify whether you want to force immediate removal of the saveset or defer the removal until all dependent savesets have reached their retirement date:

•

Mark for removal: Use this option to mark the selected saveset for removal. If no dependent Incremental or Differential Backups exist for the saveset, the saveset is removed immediately. If any dependent Incremental or Differential Backups exist for the saveset, the saveset is removed only after all dependent backups have reached their retirement date.

•

Force immediate removal: Use this option to remove the selected saveset immediately. The dependent Incremental and Differential Backups that exist for the selected saveset are also removed immediately, even if these backups have not reached their retirement date.

Click OK.

About user accounts

The NetVault administrator can set up different user accounts, and assign appropriate privileges, group memberships, and quota to these accounts based on the functions the users need to perform.

For example, the administrator can create a user account for Database Administrator and grant this account the privileges to perform backups and restores of the database systems. Similarly, the administrator can create a user account to manage clients or storage devices.

There are two predefined user accounts in NetVault:

•

admin: The administrator account for NetVault.

•

default: A standard user account that can be used to perform various operations in NetVault.

These user accounts are used to perform various tasks from the NetVault WebUI and CLI. The admin and default user accounts are assigned all privileges in NetVault. By default, no password is assigned to the admin and default user accounts. To prevent unauthorized access to the NetVault Server, you can assign a secure password to these user accounts.


	NOTE: Only the administrator account can create and manage user accounts in NetVault. Non‑administrator user accounts can only change or reset their own passwords.

If your environment uses Active Directory (AD) or Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you can also integrate AD and Azure AD users with NetVault, as well as manage user groups. For more information, see Integrating Active Directory with NetVault and Using Azure Active Directory as an identity provider.

About user and group privileges and presets

A privilege is a permission to perform a specific task in NetVault.

To accomplish any task in NetVault, a user must have the required NetVault privileges. If a user does not have the privileges, the request is denied. In NetVault, the Auditor Daemon (nvavp) authorizes the user requests based on the privileges granted to the user or user groups. For information about the types of user and user group privileges in NetVault, see User privileges.

A Preset is a set of user privileges. Presets facilitate the task of assigning user privileges. Instead of assigning the individual privileges to each user account, the administrator can assign a Preset. When a Preset is assigned to a user, the user gets all the permissions included in that set.

NetVault includes several predefined Presets, which contain all the necessary privileges for specific user roles and user groups. The predefined Presets include the following: Administrator, Backup Administrator, Backup Operator, Media Operator, Monitor, and Helpdesk. For more information about the privileges included in these sets, see Predefined Presets.

The administrator can also create user-defined presets for any additional user roles that are required in the backup environment. For more information, see Using Presets.
