The SAPBACKUP variable points to the directory where the module (actually the
SAP BRtools) keeps its state information, that's where the back<SID>.log
and all the <coded-timestamp>.anf files are kept.

Perhaps, set it in the global properties for the system?  Right-click on
My Computer, Properties, Advanced Tab, Environment Variables, and create
a new SAPBACKUP variable (you may have to reboot, I'm not sure...)

Well, one option would be to create the directory %USERPROFILE% in that
path, (as a literal name) and see if that works :)
