You Receive the Error 'BACKUP DATABASE permission denied in database' when Trying to Back Up Your Database Through the Plesk Control Panel.

Issue
You receive the following issue when attempting to backup your database through the Plesk Control Panel:
 
Error: dbbackup failed: Unable to backup database 'database' BACKUP DATABASE permission denied in database 'database'. BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. Cause: Your database user does not have permissions to backup its database.

Cause
This most commonly occurs because you built your site somewhere else, migrated it to our environment, and your former hosting provder had incorrect database settings.
