The requirement of Symantec in backing up SQL Database needs a super account such as “SA” and not the backup role account, to backup the databases. Thus this conflict to the ITIL principle of IT Risk and governance and Microsoft security practices. I want to have a clear visibility in this issue and I dont want to give SA account to my backup operator in backing up the SQL database. Please help.

Hi
You can ensure that user is local admin & apart from that you can give rights for the user by following way
user has sqladmin and sqlserveradmin rights in SQL Management Studio 2005

I understand your point, but my question here is, why it is architected like this? For somehow it doesn’t conform with the security of Microsoft that you can define level of role to execute/perform certain task.
This is just my concern.
