Copy a database from a production machine to a development machine - sql agent account?

Cant take the production machine offline just to get a copy of it down to a development machine and replace the version that is there.

So I tried the copy database feature today for the first time, and it failed to connect to the source server, even though I have sysadmin rights.

However, it seems to be using the "proxy" account that my local sql agent account is running as, which might be a local system account and not my domain account.  Can I just set my sql agent service to run as my domain account and try again?
