Backing up the registry requires the Backup and Restore Files user
user right, backing up NTFS requires these plus Manage Auditing
and Security Log.

The user account running ADSM doesn't necessarily have to be an
admin/domain admin, it just has to possess (or belong to a group
which posses) the above user rights.
