Adding permissions for hidden file access in a cluster

To browse, back up, or restore hidden file shares, the machine accounts in a cluster must belong to each other's Backup Operators group. For remote access, the machine accounts must belong to each other's Local Administrator's group.

Steps

  1. Add the M2 machine account to the Backup Operators group of machine M1.
  2. Add the M1 machine account to the Backup Operators group of machine M2.
  3. For remote access to the machines:
    1. Add the M2 machine account to the Local Administrators group of machine M1.
    2. Add the M1 machine account to the Local Administrators group of machine M2.
  4. After adding the machine accounts, reboot the machines.

Results

If you get an error similar to the following during restore, add the flag --ignoreacls to the plug-in command file, avwinclusterfs.cmd. This command file is located in the \var directory for the cluster client, in the location specified in the Cluster client's var directory when configuring the cluster. You can create this command file with a text editor if it does not already exist.

Error message:

File '\\vm-fshv2k12SOHI\restore$\file2.txt' is unable to be restored due to Avamar having improper permissions to restore the security information for that file. If you wish to restore the file, either provide proper rights to Avamar or use the --ignoreacls flag.
