Testing out Exchange 2013 backup

Thread needs solution

Good day,

I am in the process of testing tou Acronis Backup 12 with exchange 2013 and need a little help as to what account should I be creating or granting primission to perform this backup. When I enter my domain account I get the following error: "The credentials for Exchange server 'MsExchangeLocalCredentails' are in correct". 

I also want to use a different use for this so I created a new user called "exchangebackup" and Im wondering what primission does this account need to perform the exchange backup for mailboxes and where do I go to inplement this.

Thank you,

Hi,

according to the official documentation the desired backup user should be membership in the Organization Management role group.

You can backup whole Exchange databases only, but granular recovery is possible.

 

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I tired that and no go. I was only able to get it to work if the user was a domain administrator. 

I guess I will my test again with just "Organization Management" role.

Thank you,

Try removing the agent from the exchange machine you are trying to backup and reinstalling it. Worked for me. (after making sure the backup account has the correct permissions).

Thanks, that would make sense. I ended just giving the backup user full domain privilege. Not best practice but it will do for now.   

Thanks for the reply.
