Step 7. Specify Service Account Settings

The Service Account step of the wizard is available if you have selected to configure installation settings manually.

• LOCAL SYSTEM account (recommended, used by default)
• Custom user account

The user name of the custom account must be specified in the DOMAIN\USERNAME format and have permissions described in Permissions for Veeam Backup & Replication Services for Veeam Backup & Replication on Microsoft Windows.
