Running Backup Jobs

Hi everyone
I have a SQL Server 2005. On this server is a database that only a handfull
of users may access - This excludes the normal IT people such as Domain
Admins etc. Only problem is that if I remove BuiltIn\Administrators from the
sysadmin server role I am no longer able to do backups of the database. If I
leave the BuiltIn\Administrator in the SysAdmin role they can access the
database.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks.
Regards
JonasJonas
By default all members of Administrators group have login SQL Server .
What is an account SQL Server Agent running under? Is it Local Account?
Create a user domain account/group on the box SQL Server running on. Change
Sql Server Agent's/MSSqlService account to this new one but make sure that
this account has an appropriate permissions to access the network

suggested and then removed builtin admin from the sysadmin role. Everything
works.
