Running the NetWorker User Program

Using the NetWorker Programs on Windows NT

NetWorker software consists of two main programs: the NetWorker User program for manually backing up and recovering files and the NetWorker Administrator program for managing and configuring scheduled backups. System administrators need to have both programs on their systems. To access and run the NetWorker programs in conjunction with Windows NT, there are certain privileges and system requirements you must configure correctly.

Running the NetWorker User Program

Use the NetWorker User program to manually back up and recover client files. The User program does not provide any capability for administering or configuring NetWorker. The program is for users who simply want to back up and recover files without being concerned with the administration of NetWorker.

To start the User program, select the NetWorker User icon from the Taskbar, or double-click the NetWorker User icon from the Program Manager.

For instructions on how to use the program, see the NetWorker User online help. For additional information about recovery options and permissions, see Chapter 5, "Disaster Recovery".

To run the NetWorker User program on a Windows NT Workstation or Server, you must belong to the appropriate Windows NT groups.

Table D-1 lists the different groups you must belong to in order to run the NetWorker User program.

Table D-1 NetWorker User Groups Requirements

Logged on	Windows NT Workstation	Windows NT Server (not a domain controller)	Windows NT Server (domain controller)
Locally	Backup Operators or Administrators	Backup Operators or Administrators	N/A
To the domain	Domain Administrators	Domain Administrators	Backup Operators or Administrators

The Backup Operators and Administrators groups are local- and remote-type Microsoft security groups. Both groups, by default, have the users' rights policies of "Backup files and directories" and "Restore files and directories" assigned. If either of these groups do not have these rights assigned, you must assign them by using the User Rights Policy dialog box in the Windows NT User Manager.
