I have a win 2003 server with BackupExec.<br />
The server currently backs up Windows XP clients with no problem using an account specifically created for that purpose.<br />
<br />
When we try to use the same account to backup a Windows 7 client, we recieve an &quot;Access Denied&quot; error.<br />
<br />
The backup of the Win7 client works just fine if we use the domain administrators account.<br />
<br />
The backup account is in the same groups as the admin account, and has the same security settings.<br />
<br />
They have been duplicated in every detail, execpt the backup account can not access a win 7 client while the admin account can.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />

Backup Exec, Access denied errors.

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.
