3.5  Permissions for Exchange backup and recovery 
The table below contains the minimal permissions required to back up and recover Exchange server 
data.   
  When creating a backup plan, make sure that the account with the required permissions is 
specified in What to back up > Access credentials. 
  When creating a recovery task, make sure that the account with the required permissions is 
specified in Where to recover > Access credentials. 
  To be able to back up, recover, and browse mailboxes, make sure that the account you use is 
associated with the mailbox. The mailbox has to be initialized and available in a global address 
list. The mailbox database containing the associated mailbox must be mounted. The user account 
that is associated with the mailbox must reside in the same forest as the Exchange server.
