Scheduling Backup Exec to check logon accounts
You can schedule Backup Exec to check that the backup sources in jobs can be accessed with the logon accounts that you selected. Checking whether your logon accounts have access to backup sources lets you diagnose and fix any access issues before you run backup jobs. If Backup Exec discovers any backup sources that cannot be accessed with the logon accounts that you selected, it reports the error in an alert.
By default, Backup Exec is scheduled to check logon accounts every day at 2:00 pm.
You can disable the test if you do not want Backup Exec to regularly check logon accounts. You can also reschedule the test so that it occurs less frequently.
