Requirements for the server
When operating servers, use the same version of Application Agent for the file server or database
server and for the backup server.
User authorization for command execution
The following authorizations are required to execute Application Agent commands:
• OS administrator permissions and administrator privileges
A user executing a Application Agent command must have local Administrator authorization on
the server on which the command is to be executed.
In a Windows Server 2008 operating environment, the user must also have OS administrator
privileges. If the user does not have OS administrator privileges, an error message appears, and
command execution fails.
• Database access authorization
• When backing up an SQL Server database:
When a user executes a Application Agent command, Windows must first authenticate the
user before gaining access to the SQL Server. A user must have sysadmin authorization to
execute Application Agent commands for an SQL server.
• When backing up an Exchange database:
A user must be assigned to the Enterprise Admins group or the Exchange Domain Servers
group of a domain to execute Application Agent commands.
For details on the authorization required for each command, see “Permissions required for users
executing commands” on page 233.
