Question :

Hello  We'd like to create a specific user account for executing backups from a script. A script would execute backups using REST API (/rest/appliance/recovery/backup/job).  Which privileges do we need to assign the user for this operation to complete successfully?

You can refer to the Article below:

vCenter Appliance Backup and Restore User Privileges

IBM Knowledge Center

vCenter Server privileges required for the Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI and data mover

You can review the below Article from VMware as well where the Permissions required for backup and Restore are mentioned:

Required user permissions for VMware Data Recovery backup and restore operations (2008157)
