The logon account wizard will let you setup accounts to access to the media server. Since this is the first time setting up accounts we need to add a new one and can edit in the future.
To choose the Active Directory account to use just use DOMAIN\Username along with the password for it. You need to be sure whatever account you use for the system logon account has full rights to the domain and Exchange. If you set this up incorrectly you will get errors when trying to backup and the job will fail.
You can make the account common which will allow anyone can access it without a password or restricted which will require a password. In my opinion it is always best to secure everything use a password anywhere that allows you to do so. Of course your situation may be different and you may not need to worry about these security issues. When you click next it will take you to a summary page (not pictured) and then allow you to either add more accounts or finish.
Device Configuration Wizard
Once you finish the account setup it will automatically open the device configuration wizard. This wizard will help you configure your tape device for use with Backup Exec. I currently have a HP SureStore 5000 tape drive connected to my server which can backup 4GB of data. Since I don’t backup a huge amount of data this should be sufficient for a while. In the future I will need to get a larger drive to handle everything or backup to disk.
You can choose to add backup-to-disk folders at this time or do that later. I chose to set those up later and just continued with the wizard. After you verify that everything is setup correctly you can click next and it will take you to the finish screen (not pictured).
