SQL 2012 VDI backup fauling with Probe job error
We have Networker server windows 2003 with netoworker version 7.6.5 build 1160.
We have a client named dbrmsdev on which we have multiple sql instances and one of them is SQL 2012.
SQL 2012 services are running with domain account ms.dev and have all necessary rights.
On adding this user in remote username filed backup for sql 2012 fails with Probe job error.
client has networker 8.0 version and NMM 2.4

The probe failing is caused by Microsoft UAC on Windows 2008, 2008-R2 and 2012.
The account given to perform SQL VDI backup is not granted with rights needed to perform probe command savefs.
The recommendation on this is:
- have NW client service nsrexecd running on local SYSTEM account
- not using a remote user/password for SQL VDI backup
- grant local SYSTEM account access to SQL 2012 databases (which is in SQL 2012 no longer given automatically)
If the last thing is absolutely not accepted by SQL admins you may try to disable Windows UAC completely.
If this is also not desired you may use VSS snapshot backup as a last possibility.
