Hi @M,

I believe the recommended way to give root privileges to another user is by using “sudo”.

There is official SUSE documentation about using “sudo” in SLES 15 SP2 (Service Pack 2), for instance, in the following web page of the “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2 Administration Guide”:

sudo Basics | Administration Guide | SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2
https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP2/html/SLES-all/cha-adm-sudo.html

I hope this helps.

Hi @M,
You’re welcome. I’ve never used “Veeam Backup”. Have you checked the Veeam technical Documentation? Maybe there’s something in that documentation that is more specific and that may help you.
