Creating a Macintosh logon account

On initial access of the Macintosh computer, a Logon Account Selection screen appears stating that the system logon account used by Backup Exec to access to the Macintosh computer has failed, and that access to the Macintosh computer is denied. To proceed, a new logon account must be created for the Macintosh computer using credentials that allow access to the Macintosh computer.

Note:

The logon account credentials you provide during the creation of logon account used during the initial access of the Macintosh computer are stored by Backup Exec. These credentials will be used again when making future backup selections from the Macintosh computer. However, if the access credentials for the Macintosh computer change, a new Backup Exec Macintosh computer logon account will need to be created in order to access the computer.

To create a Macintosh logon account

In Backup Job Properties pane under Favorite Resources, expand Macintosh Systems.
Double-click the desired Macintosh computer.

A Logon Account Selection screen appears stating that the Backup Exec System Logon Account failed to access the Macintosh computer.
On the Logon Account Selection screen, click New.

Add account credentials for the Macintosh computer and then click OK.

Credentials supplied for the Macintosh computer must have Admin privileges that can be authenticated by the Macintosh computer.

Credentials include the following information:

User name	The user name required to access the Macintosh computer. This name must have Admin privileges, which can be authenticated by the Macintosh computer.
Password	The password used to access the Macintosh computer.
Confirm password	The same password entered in the Password field, which is used to confirm the password was entered correctly in the Password field.
Account name	A label you enter to name the logon account.

After authenticating the credentials entered, access to the Macintosh computer is granted and backup selections can be made.
