Backup using the proxy account in SQL2005

Hi,
We want to use the proxy account to take backups created from maintenance
plans in SQL2005. What permissions does the proxy account need to do this?
It has permissions to run SSIS packages and it failed saying the package
could not be loaded. I then added the proxy account to the db_dtsadmin role
and now I get the package execution failed. Does it also need the master
role db_backupoperator to run?
Thanks
ChrisThe login in question need to have a user in the database you want to backup and in that database be
db_backupoperator or have granted the BACKUP DATABASE and/or BACKUP LOG privileges.
I don't think that there's a privilege you can grant to a login that allow you to backup any
database, less than CONTROL (same as sysadmin). At least, that is how I read below:

I first granted Backup Database and then Backup Log to the proxy account and
added it to the application database in the db_backupoperator role. It
appears to perform the backup but still says package failed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I had looked in SSIS at the package and it had mentioned the Reader Role as
db_dtsadmin, db_dtsoperator and the creator of the package. I can see as
long as I give the proxy account one of the 2 db_dts roles in msdb it can
read/execute the package. I suppose I could change this to some other msdb
role and make sure the proxy account is a member of that role. I cannot see
much about the error. It throws an Event 12291 in the Event log saying the
package has failed. This is running SQL2005 SP1.
Thanks

Possibly. I know MS are working hard on Maint Plans in SP2, so if you can create a repro (specify
the steps needed), you probably want to post this to

Say you want SSIS to work against an instance called X, then you should have:

I guess you could have MachineName\X as well, haven't tried that.

The Dec SP2 CTP version gives a lot of debug info rather than just a generic
package failure. It first complained about access to a stored procedure in
msdb and then a table in msdb. Making the proxy account a db_owner in msdb
helps (no way the right approach). Then it complained about the old backup
delete sp in master. Again making the proxy account a db_owner in master
does not solve the problem (even worse solution than doing this in msdb). It
is all documented in Connect though no response from MS yet. See the SP2 DEC
CTP Backup Error entry dated Dec 21st in Connect.

MS have established that you need to be a sysadmin, if you want to perform
the Maintenance Cleanup Task. You do need to give the proxy account certain
permissions in both msdb and the application database but for now leave out
the Maintenance Cleanup Task.
My next task is to get the Cleanup Task to run after the backup but not as
part of the backup as it needs to much authority.
