Configuring User Accounts for Backups

The Sybase agent requires the following two user accounts to access the Sybase application and database to perform backup and restore operations:

  • Database user account with administrator privileges.

    On UNIX computers, the account information for accessing the database is provided during the Sybase iDataAgent installation.

    On Windows computers, the account information is provided during the instance configuration after the installation of the Agent.
