Hi,

We’re currently testing an upgrade to Bacula 3.0.1 to resolve some issues we’ve been experiencing with Windows 2008 servers.

Since upgrading I have managed to fix problems we were having with VSS and what seems like junction points being created but now we’re getting a fairly bizarre error when attempting to run full and incremental backups (see below).

 

Server: Hyper-V VPS running Windows Datacentre 2008 X86
I have tested this on dedicated servers and the problems are replicable.

 

Could not open directory "C:/Users/Administrator/My Documents/My Videos": ERR=Access is denied.
Could not open directory "C:/Documents and Settings/Default/Application Data": ERR=Access is denied.

Could not open directory "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/AppData/Local/Temporary Internet Files": ERR=Access is denied.

Etc...

 

The directories themselves have default permissions i.e. SYSTEM with full control, administrators etc.. and Bacula is running as an administrator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

    I believe the problem is because it's considered a form of Symlinks, you don't really need to back these up anyway.

I.E. - C:/Users/Administrator/My Documents, should be replaced by C:/Users/Administrator/Documents

    I used a persons template to compile my own fix up for Vista/Windows 2008, you can feel free to modify mine and play with it if you desire.
