minimum role/permissions for backup

I have a MS SQL database process that is run from ASP.NET.
I would like to be able to backup the SQL database using either
a full database or transaction log backup immediately before the
process is done. Is this possible with ASP.NET and
what kind of permissions or role would the SQL connection account
need to perfom the backup. I would like to give the account the minimum
permissions needed.
