====BACKUP LOG fails on SQL Server 2012====
The BACKUP LOG step fails when using Veeam B&R to create a back-up of a VM running SQL Server 2012 and using databases with the Full recovery model.

Workaround is to grant NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM sysadmin server role permissions on the SQL Server instance(s).
