    When backing up the Shadow Copy Components of a DC you are backing up all AD components

    I have known people use the local system account without issue but if you are backing up to disk and want to do a GRT backup of AD then it requires a domain admin account as it needs to access every component of AD during the backup and more importantly during a restore

    Hope this helps
