I guess the reason you need to be sysadmin to backup a database, is that
BACKUP DATABASE gives you access to the data in the table. Once you have
a backup, and can restore anywhere you like - and with any privilege.
I believe there is a way to add a user to db_backupoperator to all
future database: add the user to this role in model. I have not tried
this, though.
