Why do we need an Database user and a Unix username when configuring the MySQL Server backup agent?
Solved
Database user and Unix username - MySQL Backup Agent
Best answer by Chris Hollis
BOL states: In the Database user box, type the user name to access the MySQL application.
If then states: If you are using a Linux platform, then in the UNIX username box, type the Linux operating system user name.
So you don’t need both, just one or the other depending on your environment/the archictecture MySQL is installed on.
Hopefully this helps!

Chris, you were right! Thank you. I used just the Database user account that our DBA created for us with necessary grants. Agent running on Linux host with MySQL database. The Commvault software was installed with root account.
