I perform full backup on MSSQL2000
However, the directory of backup files is only writable by Administrator

But I find that I can't backup (I think it is due to permission)
In which role MSSQL2000 is running?

In Service->MSSQLSERVER
It is set to Local System Account,
Can I just change to Administrator? Is there any side effect?

The local System account is a "can do anything locally" account. It cannot
however see past its own disk drives.
