restore permissions to a login

Hello All,
I have run into a situation that a 3rd party backup and restore solution is
requiring sa account to backup and restore databases in my SQL 2K/SP3a
server.
I have created a login that is a member of db_backupoperator and db_onwer
database roles and database_creators server role. Isn't that enough? does
it absolutely need sa privilege? Please enlighten me if you have run into
the same scenario.
Thanks,
sqlgirlTechnically the permissions you have assigned should be enough to backup and
restore the database. Whether the 3rd party solution has the need for the sa
account hard coded in the application, I do not know, but in that case I
would not use that solution. If they can't even get something as simple as
the permissions right (and the least the can do is just allow any member of
sysadmin as the login. I mean, what about SQL Server installations that use
Windows Authentication only?), what can you expect from the rest of the
application?

The users with server fixed role "DBCREATOR " can restore the daabase.
User with database fixed role "DBOWNER" can only backup the database , but
cannot restore. The user with role "db_backupoperator "
also can backup not restore.
Thanks

database with the roles I assigned to the sql login and I did not need
sa privilege.
Thank is why I am stumped that the 3rd party tool would require the sa
privilege to do its job.
