Backup Exec 2014 cannot connect to SQL database

I have installed BackupExec 2014 and attempting to perform a full backup which includes my SQL database instance. When I "test/edit credentials" for the backup job and Test All, my SQL database shows "Test failed, Test recommended". I am unable to change the logon setting because it is greyed out with "user server's logon account". If I change the server's logon account the test still fails.
I'm not sure what account it wants.

Thanks. All to do with the user that BackupExec was running under. As a test I changed the user to the system administrator and everything then burst into life. Now I know what the cause is I can configure the backup user correctly.
Cheers
