Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Windows requirements

NetWorker enables you to perform directed recoveries of data to a local drive on Windows destination host, when you enable Windows File and Print Sharing option on the destination host . You cannot perform a directed recovery to a CIFS share.

When you use the recover command on a Windows destination host and the NetWorker server is also a Windows host, change the account that starts the NetWorker Backup and Recovery service on the NetWorker server:

• When the NetWorker server and the destination host are in the same domain, start service with a domain user that is a member of the local Administrators group.
• When the NetWorker server and destination host are not in a domain, or are not in the same domain, start the service with a local user that meets the following requirements:
  • The same username exists as a local user on the destination host.
  • The local user must have the same password on both hosts.
  • The local user on the NetWorker server is a member of the local Administrators group.
