Windows Spectrum Protect Client no need of Backupoperator to backup Shares

We use System Protect Client for Windows to backup/Archive files on our NAS from NetApp. But the System Protect Client for Windows needs to run with backupoperator rights. This is ok, if I am the only user. But a user with this right, has at least full Access to the Windows operatingsystem. Which is not really needed if I want to backup files on a remote System.

The membership in the backupoperator group seems to be hardcoded. Maybe it will already work if this will be removed.

    Thank you for the reply.
    We have CIFS-Share on our Netapp Storage and the users should have the possibility to backup/archive the files on the shares. The users have full access on the shares. We do not want to give the users on the windows machine connecting to the share and doing the backup the bakup operator rights. The users have not to backup any local files, only the files on the share. So why should they need backup operator rights? It is to much for that task for only reading the file and send the file to the backupserver.

    We tried to set all the User Rights Assignment for the user in the same way as the group backup operators has in windows. But that did not work for us. The client only works, if user is part of the backup operator group. Thats why I think it is hard coded.
