Stefan, Can you provide more information, like -what version of SQLDP are you using -are you using the legacy data protection or Flash Copy Manager (FCM) -VSS or legacy backups
On older versions I ran my scheduler with an administrator account and also had TSM admins added to sysadmin role in SQL in order to be able to troubleshoot backup issues as well as perform restores. On the releases the TSM admins still are added to the sysadmin role to provide support but I no longer install a scheduler service and use the scheduler internal to DP/FCM and don't use any elevated account. -Rick Adamson -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Stefan Folkerts Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2016 5:33 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] MSSQL 2012 SQL permissions Hi all, Can somebody help me with the MSSQL 2012 SQL permissions that are needed for the scheduler user?
