Not sure if this is the right spot for this post so apologies if it's in the wrong spot. Please move it as necessary.

We have SQLExpress running on our DC. It handles data for our admin assistant. How can I set her up to do full database backups without giving her remote access to the DC? Lots of detail is appreciated as I've not dealt with SQL before.

I would create a stored procedure that performs the backup command, with the procedure setup to create a dated file. I would also add to the procedure a step following the backup to remove old backup files.

Then, grant execute access to that stored procedure and the user can then execute the procedure as needed.
