Failed to create snapset. Reason: access denied to media database, `SYSTEM' on...
Because we are using Hyper-V version 3 (based on Windows Server 2012 R2) I have created a test envirionment with a NetWorker server based on NetWorker 8.1.1.1
For the backup of Hyper-V we use NMM 3.0.1
This versions are DA - only. (not GA)
When I try to make a backup of a Hyper-V host and its guests Networker is giving me the following error:
NSR info Failed to create snapset. Reason: access denied to media database, `SYSTEM' on `cshyv98.europe.stater.corp' must have 'Operate NetWorker' or 'Change Application Settings' privilege
NSR info SAVE FAILED
I've read the discussion NMM backup fails with 'access denied to media database' - but I cannot implement the workaround described in there. And besides that - this is about a Hyper-V server, not an SQL.
please help!

Hi Placebo,
Well, as explained in the thread you mention, you need to grant user "SYSTEM" the permissions to operate the media DB.
To achieve this you need to add SYSTEM@xxx as many times as interfaces you have on that client.
SYSTEM@* would do, but I understand you cannot add that, most likely for security reasons, I assume.
The thing is that if there is name resolution issues this will also fail if you don't specify the correct host name of the client, I hope I explained myself clearly enough
Thank you,
Carlos

Halle Carlos,
it is just a test server... so I added system@* to the backup server. ('nsraddadmin system@*')
The backup is finished now.
What I understood from the other 'access denied to the media database' was the user system@* was added to the 'DB admin' group... That's not working.
with greetings!
