Upon installation, ZCB creates a new local user named amandabackup. For fine-grained access control, ZCB uses amandabackup for performing all backup related tasks.
amandabackup is used for nearly every ZCB function, including:
ZCB creates amandabackup with administrator privileges, which are required for backup-related tasks.
If you intend to run ZCB in a domain environment, amandabackup must be created as a domain user. Please see How to make amandabackup a domain user.
If you plan to backup networked mapped drives in a Windows Domain environment, you must start the ZWC Service as the DOMAIN/amandabackup user. Please see How to use external or mapped network drives with ZCB.
To update the amandabackup user password, please see How to update the amandabackup user password.
