Hi,<br />
I'm running Symantec Backup Exec 12 on a Windows 2003 STD server. On Backup Exec, I'm trying to create a Backup-To-Disk folder on a OSX 10.5 server share.<br />
<br />
The OSX is joined to a Windows 2003 Active Directory. The shared folder permission gives domain admin full control. When I go to create the folder on backup exec, i get the error &quot;Unable to create new backup folder. Access is denied&quot;.<br />
<br />
It's strange because when I browse to the OSX Shared folder from the Windows server, I can create / modify / delete folders and files. The permissions on that folder everyone has full control, domain admins full control. The credentials I use to access the folder is the domain admin.<br />
<br />
BTW I'm able to create a Backup-To-Disk folder on another Win2003 folder-no problems.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions? What am I missing here?<br />
Thanks,<br />

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
