WN12-00-000009-02 - Members of the Backup Operators group must have separate accounts for backup duties and normal operational tasks.

Information

Backup Operators are able to read and write to any file in the system, regardless of the rights assigned to it. Backup and restore rights permit users to circumvent the file access restrictions present on NTFS disk drives for backup and restore purposes. Members of the Backup Operators group must have separate logon accounts for performing backup duties.

Solution

Ensure each member of the Backup Operators group has separate accounts for backup functions and standard user functions.
