MySQL backup via Simpana fails with Error Code 87:15

So you’ve just deployed the Simpana MySQL iDA and attempt your first backup, however get an error per below;

Error Code: [87:15]

Description: MySQL Database: [~client~] Data Backup Failed with MySQL Error: [~mysqldump: Got error: 1227: Access denied; you need the RELOAD privilege for this operation when doing refresh ~].

This failure is talking about the MySQL user that you configured in the GUI for the MySQL iDA. Basically the account lacks “RELOAD” privilege, so you should go fix it up before trying again.
