Backups and Backup Devices in SQL2005

Hi,
Credentials are needed to access resources outside of SQL. Is a backup
and/or backup device regarded as a resource outside of SQL? Do I need to
create a credential to use a backup and/or backup device?
Thanks
Chris
Essentially yes. If you are going to schedule the backups you will need to
use a proxy account. The proxy will require a credential to access the file
system.
