     I'm backing up my NT 4.0 desktop to an ADSM MVS server
     Version 2, Release 1, Level 0.7/0.7.

     I've been backing up my e:\drive successfully for many months.
     I recently converted the drive to an NTFS file system from FAT
     (and upgraded to NT 4.0 at the same time).  Then, I added
     security to some of the data, allowing access only to my logon.

     At that time, my daily incremental backups (scheduled) started failing
     with this message:

     ANS4147E Drive E: is an invalid drive specification

     I am using SYSTEM ACCOUNT for the Scheduler Service.  When I change it
     to run using my id as the account, it works.  When I push a backup
     manually from my id, it works.

     If I want to keep this file system secured AND back it up - what do I
     need to do?
     I understand the simple answer for my desktop is to use my id as the
     account, but this is only a test bed for a large implementation and I
     need to use SYSTEM ACCOUNT.
