Cause
1. Account used to backup the Virtual Machines have insufficient rights.
2. System logon account is not configured.
Resolution
- Make sure the account used to backup Virtual Machines has the required permissions. https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100062273.html
- Add a System Logon Account if not configured under "Configuration and Settings" and "Logon Accounts".
- If System Logon Account already created then you can try to recreate the account. We have seen that the credentials problem was resolved by re-creating the SYSTEM LOGON ACCOUNT in Backup Exec per the steps below:
- From the Backup Exec main menu, select "Configuration and Settings".
- Select "Logon Accounts".
- Click on "System Account" button from the right menu.
- Enter the service credentials for Backup Exec and enter the password.
- Check the box "This is my default logon account" , and click the OK button.
NOTE : The same error has been found while restoring a VM machine to a different ESX Server . Restoring it through vCenter does work if we select System logon account.
