# Grant the access node access to backup storage

During an Active Directory forest recovery, to restore the domain controllers from backup, access node must have access to the backup storage.

Note

- If you have multiple access nodes, complete the following steps for each one.

- In this procedure, you give the access node read access. Don't give write access because that can cause backups to fail.

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Storage > Disk.

2. Click the disk storage you created for AD backups.

   The disk page appears.

3. On the Backup locations tab, in the Associated MediaAgents section, click Add.

   The Associate MediaAgent dialog box appears.

4. For MediaAgent, select the access node.

5. Click Save.

   The disk page appears.

6. Under Backup locations, click the backup location.

7. Under Disk access paths, click the path beside the access node.

   The Edit access path dialog appears.

8. Under Access, select Read.

9. Click Save.
