  • The service account for SQL Server needs rights, not your account.

  • Both servers are using local system account is that ok??

  • You will need a domain account for this.

  • How come I can run the script, put the backup to another server in the network which is set as local system account??

  • From BOL

    The Local Service account is a special, built-in account that is similar to an authenticated user account. The Local Service account has the same level of access to resources and objects as members of the Users group. Services that run as the Local Service account access network resources as a null session with no credentials.

    Hope this helps
