Technically 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?
