I want to run ntbackup under the Windows SYSTEM account.

Is this possible? I don't want to create a new user profile just for
this task nor use my account since I change my password often.

What would be the full username for this account?

MACHINE_NAME\SYSTEM ?
with a blank password?

thank you
 
Use task scheduler to schedule a backup. Task Scheduler runs under the
system context.
