Oh you’re right, there is such a Group (the name is localized …). I added a local user to both groups: Administrator and Backup Operator but when I do a backup of a share for the folder c:\Users I still get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED for a lot of subfolders. This was the case in my test with the Windows 7 Pro machine in a workgroup, and again with the same machine added to a AD domain. Same behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
