I created BackupAdmin account in domain, assinged account to be member
od Backup Operators and Domain Admins. I used complex password. I
configure all backup procedures to run via Backup Admin user.
Purpose of this account is to serve only for backup needs or for
starting services. Password will not be changing for this account.

I would like also to implement policy for this account to deny logon
locally and interactivly.
Should I fall in trap here causing services and scheduled tasks to
stop?
Any suggestions?
 
Re: Backup Admin account sugestions

Hello alien,

First, if you make this account Domain admin, this is the highest level you
can make. He is also aible to do backups. I would suggest you use only the
Backup Operators group and if the account does not work like expected, backup
fails, then search for the additional needed rights. So check allways to
run the jobs with the minimum rights for your own security, even it needs
more work to figure out your needs. In the backup job logs, you will get
infos like access denied and can search then for the right solutions.

Best regards
