Setting up backups

Before you can perform backups, you must:

• configure the correct permissions for any Security Groups that need to perform backups.

• assign any employee’s who will be performing backups to the security group with the backup permissions. See Selecting employee security groups.

To configure security groups for backups

1. Select Maintenance > Maintenance Map from the menu.

2. Click Security on the Tasks bar.

3. Click Task Permissions.


The Maintenance — Task Permissions page opens.

4. Select Central from the Product drop-down.

5. Select the Group (security group) from the drop-down that you want to set up the task permissions for.


The Group Descriptions assigned to the Group are listed in the panel.

6. Click  beside the Maintenance to list the permissions for that area.


The list expands and displays a checkbox in the Allow column.

7. Click the Allow checkbox for:

• [Maintenance][Backup]

• #Backup#ReceiveFailureNotification. 

8. Click OK.
