Backup Agent Service Account Requirements

The requirements for your backup agent service account depend on the type of backup and restore you will be using (database level, document level, or both). To determine these requirements, see information about backup agent service account requirements in the chapters “Performing Database Level Backups and Restores,“ or “Performing Document Level Backups and Restores.“

Note: If you plan on using more than one type of backup and restore (for example, both database level and document level), your backup agent service account must meet the requirements for all types. Document level backup and restore requirements include all of the requirements for database level backup and restore.
