Does RapidRecovery support the use of Managed Service Accounts?

historically we've been created a user account based on a mirror of another domain account and reassigning its permissions to run as the service account needed for backups to complete.

would i be better, and does appassure 5 or rapidrecovery 6, support the use of managed service accounts

    Hi ndaddona :
    I am afraid that AppAssure/RapidRecovery does not support MSAs. The credentials for accessing Agents, Cores and Virtual Environments are stored in the registry (in an encrypted format). There is no method I know of to set/replace these credentials using the API and as such I do not think that you could use MSAs. There is an API REST call that MAY help changing credentials agents/{agentId}/descriptor [POST] but it requires already encrypted credentials. If you would like to dig a little bit deeper, please download the SDK from the portal -- it includes good API documentation and examples and it is worth checking it especially if you would like to execute non-standard tasks.
