Backup permissions?

Hello
We’re using Vault open source at the moment. Could you tell me what permissions we need to grant a user that will be used to backup the cluster / system?
and any best practices here will be highly appreciated
Thank you

What sort of Vault backup are you doing? If you’re using consul or integrated storage the backup happens externally and a token is not required since you’re not decrypting the data, just backing up the encrypted data.
