Is it advisable to use just one domain account for multiple sql servers?
For example three developers sharing the same SQLServerAgent account. It will mainly be used to backup local servers to a network drive.

I would use the same domain account for the agent account... This is recommended when you are implementing operations that require multiple servers to talk to each other such as when you are doing replication, multi-server job implementations, etc...

However, I would NOT let developers or anyone else KNOW OR USE the password to that account. I would protect this account with as much scrutiny as I would the sa account...

Hope this helps... Tom Davis
