To enable the integration with PowerProtect Data Manager on each Microsoft SQL Server host, ensure that the database OS account or NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account on each host has the required sysadmin privilege.
For more information about how to set the sysadmin privilege for database OS or NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account, see the section “Setting the sysadmin privilege for Microsoft SQL Server hosts” in the PowerProtect Data Manager Microsoft SQL Server User Guide.
