The backup agent does not have to be run as a System or Domain Admin on your end machine, but you do need to make sure the agent will have sufficient access to the files it needs to back up, otherwise you will get “Access Denied” errors or warnings in the message logs of the backup.
There are two options for successful backups:
-
Run the agent as an admin (easiest)
-
Create a specific user that will give the CFA needed access for the backups.
This may take some trial and error by viewing the message logs to make sure there are no files that are denied access, but it is a possibility if you do not wish to have the agent running as an admin.
