2003 server, ntbackup. I'd like to have the backup run as a scheduled task, but I don't want to use my domain admin credentials for the task. Isn't there a way to just have the system run the backup, like NT used to?
Thx

Not as a scheduled task. You can do it interactively using the current logon's credentials, but to schedule it, you will have to specify a user account. I create user accounts specifically to do this, like, "BACKUP".
