Legato Networker -Permission problem during backup/restore

[Rathin]

Problem envrionment:
Recently we implemented Legato Networker 7.1.1 for on HP-UX 11.11. We have one Networker Server with six Networker Clients at present. A normal UNIX user has been configured as administrator within Networker Server. That user has no pecial/administrative permission and our IT management woun't prefer to set that user into root group.

Problem:
With this user account we can backup only the files, on which it has at least read access (Though we can select files in "nwbackup" ).

During resore, we can not even select the files on which this user-account has at least read access.

We wish to set a normal UNIX user to backup recover all files. Is it possible anyway?

Hi Rathin,

Yes it is possible, use sudo and setup nwadmin and nwrestore to be run with superuser privileges. Add the user in the nwadmin "setup" server and clients for all clients as a remote admin ( user@*).

I'm not close to to our unix box but I think the above should be enough for you to recognize the steps.

Hope this helps,

Hi Robert-Jan,
Thanks for reply
Your solution was excellent! I tried in my Linux environment and worked fine. We would test it in HP-UX now..
