This doesn't answer your question but explains why it probably doesn't work. The Backup operators group is only relevant when using the backup api.

Hi toasters,
we are currently testing expand boxes to boost our cifs access from remote locations to our centralized Netapp filers.
Sadly the expand boxes need to have access to the cifs files in order to replicate them to the remote boxes. When accessing files of course the normal user-rights of the user accessing the files are used.
What i did is, i put the service-user into the "Backup Operators" group on the filer, but without success. When i try to replicate the cifs-shares i always get error messages that the user is not allowed to open the files.
With the "Administrators" group on the filer it worked. But this is not an option in my eyes, as this right is too high and in case a user removes the "Administrators" group from a folder the expand box will fail to replicate this folder as well.
Has anybody a good idea or even deployed expand boxes for cifs-acceleration with netapp?
Regards and thanks in advance
Jochen
