Windows Server® 2012 Unleashed

Assigning Tasks and Designating Team Members

To make sure that Windows Server 2012 systems are getting backed up properly, IT staff should train and assign at least two IT staff members to monitor and manage backups when using Windows Server Backup. Windows Server 2012 systems, by default, allow users in the local Administrators or Backup Operators security groups to back up and restore data. On domain controllers, the domain-based security groups have these same rights on the Active Directory domain controllers in the respective domains.
