caroot, Equivalency, and the System Account
Do not confuse the caroot user profile with the BrightStor ARCserve Backup
System Account. The caroot user profile is used to control access to the BrightStor
ARCserve Backup Manager and its related backup functions; the system account
provides the security privileges needed by BrightStor ARCserve Backup services
to operate on the local machine.
Although the System Account and the caroot user profile perform different
functions, in order for BrightStor ARCserve Backup to run all of its jobs
successfully, you must grant the System Account equivalency to caroot. For
example, if the System Account is named BackupAdmin, and the local machine
name is BAB01, use the following ca_auth command to give the account
equivalency to caroot:
ca_auth -equiv add BackupAdmin BAB01 caroot caroot
caroot_password

,” or the online help.
