Automated Backup Can't Write to Network Share #19

If the service is running as the Local System account, it cannot write to network shares. I have tried using a number of domain users to start the service but it appears the user has to be a local administrator. I do not want the user running the service to be a full blown administrator. Can you explain which permissions in the local security policy are needed for the user running the service?

I'll try look into that

The service user account needs the following permissions:

Log on as a service
Modify access to the backup location
Modify access to C:\ProgramData\MySQLBackup (this is where the config files are kept)

Does this work?
