Windows doesn't have a "root" user.  It has "administration privileges".
We don't use Windows as a NB Master but I imagine if you do you'd have
to have those privileges there.

I'd strongly advise going to Windows over Unix but then again I'm a Unix
Systems Administrator.

Our master is on Unix Solaris where we use root for all NetBackup=20

administration, except for a opuser id for the help desk to do restores.
We are=20

moving the master to Windows servers, will we need root access to do

Netbackup administration functions there too?
