Re: Best practices for account used with Scheduled tasks

Can anyone recommend under what account should be Task Scheduler running? I don't want it to run under Admin account and I know it must have appropriate rights to the files and directories involved. Does the account need "run as batch file" or "act as part of OS" or any similar rights? I seem to remember something about changing permission for cmd.exe in order to run batch files? Do I need to add the user to Backup operators in order to run ntbackup as a scheduled task?
Thanks!
