Re: [Veritas-bu] setup special account for backup ????????

There are several thoughts.

If you can upgrade to 7.1 it will have linux install packages as a method of installing the client.

If you have an account on the linux client that can write to /tmp you can use the install method using sftp to write a directory in /tmp with all the install scripts and the netbackup objects that are needed for the install.

After the bits are left in /tmp you can use sudo to shell the install script in /tmp and it should install the netbackup bits.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] setup special account for backup ????????

we have several Redhat LINUX servers with BACKEXEC or Netbackup client in it.
everytime our Backup administrator setup backup always ask us to provide "root" password for them to setup backup.

Does there has way we don't need provide "root" password and Backup administrator still can setup backup?

My ideal are:

1. create a account with special group assign?

2. use sudo???

Thanks.
