vCenter permissions for NetBackup vSphere API backup

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi there,
We're going to push our VMware 4.1 farm to backup using NetBackup 7.0.1 Enterprise Server.
I went through the manual and installed VMware proxy host (NetBackup media server), but my question is about user in vCenter. What permissions should I give to this user? I've seen recommendations for using Administrator, but this is overkill for simple backup/restore operations.
Any ideas, technotes?

I just use the admin account in our environment, I guess at minimum you require an account with at least write access to be able to restore. Try this link even though it's not specific to account permissions:
