Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a Backup Exec media server

Use the following steps to configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a destination Backup Exec media server.

Note:

Symantec recommends that you configure two media server storages devices when you configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with Backup Exec. Configuring two storage devices lets you create a staged migration for your archived Enterprise Vault data.

See About using staged migrations with Backup Exec and the Backup Exec Migrator.

See Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator to communicate with Enterprise Vault.

To configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a Backup Exec media server

  1. At the Backup Exec media server, start Backup Exec.

  2. Create a logon account that uses the Enterprise Vault server Vault Service account credentials.

    Vault Service account credentials are used so that Backup Exec and the Backup Exec Migrator can complete the migration operation

The Vault Service account must be included in either the Administrators group or the Backup Operators gro
up at the Backup Exec media server.

Note:

If the Enterprise Vault server and the Backup Exec media server are in different domains, a trust relationship must be established between the domains. The Vault Service account user must be a trusted user at the Backup Exec media server. Trust relationships are required so that the Microsoft Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) can authenticate the Vault Service account user.

For more information on domain trust relationships, see your Microsoft documentation.
