* To be able to discover databases on this VM, Azure Backup creates the account `NT SERVICE\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc`. This account is used for backup and restore and requires SQL sysadmin permissions. The `NT SERVICE\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc` account is a [Virtual Service Account](/windows/security/identity-protection/access-control/service-accounts#virtual-accounts), and so doesn't require any password management. Azure Backup uses the `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM` account for database discovery/inquiry, so this account needs to be a public login on SQL. If you didn't create the SQL Server VM from Azure Marketplace, you might receive an error **UserErrorSQLNoSysadminMembership**. If this occurs [follow these instructions](#set-vm-permissions).
