Question

How to ensure the Transporter has the required access rights to perform Backup, Replication, or Recovery jobs?

Answer

  1. Try accessing the source/target storage manually:

  • On Linux:

sudo -u <transporter_user> ls /mnt/backup_repository

  • On Windows:

runas /user:<transporter_user> "explorer \\<share_path>"

  1. If backing up physical machines:

  • On Windows: it must be an Administrator with WMI and SMB access

  • On Linux: it must be root or sudo-capable via SSH
