Quick Installation Guide

Install the storage device hardware (controller, drives, robotic libraries) on the 
media server. Refer to the documentation that is included with your storage device 
hardware for installation instructions. Use the appropriate Windows hardware 
setup functions to configure your controller and storage devices. Refer to your 
Microsoft Windows documentation for more information.

Check your Windows security settings to make sure they work properly with the 
Backup Exec service account.

If the drive on which you want to install Backup Exec is encrypted or compressed, 
and you would like to use a default SQL Express database, verify that an 
unencrypted and uncompressed drive is available for SQL Express installation.

Exit all other programs.

About the Backup Exec services account

All Backup Exec services on the media server run in the context of a user account 
configured for the Backup Exec system services. You can create this account during the 
Backup Exec installation, or you can use an existing user account. To create a service 
account for Backup Exec during installation, enter the name and password of an 
Administrator account for the Backup Exec services to use. 

If this computer is in a domain, enter a Domain Administrators account, or an 
equivalent account that is part of the Domain Admins group. In the Domain list, select 
or enter the Domain name.

If this computer is in a workgroup, enter an Administrators account, or an equivalent 
account that is part of the Administrators group on the computer. In the Domain list, 
select or enter the computer name.

The account that you designate for Backup Exec services, whether it is a new account or 
an existing user account, is assigned the following rights: 

Authenticate as any user and gain access to resources under any user identity.

Create a token object, which can then be used to access any local resources.

Log on as a service.

Administrative rights (provides complete and unrestricted rights to the computer).

Backup operator rights (provides rights to restore files and directories).

Manage auditing and security log.

Due to security implementations in Microsoft Small Business Server, the service 
account must be Administrator.
