How to do a file backup on \Users\FolderRedirections and \Users\Shares on Small Business server 2008 ?
Hi,
I want to do a file based backup on :
\Users\FolderRedirections
\Users\Shares
on Small Business server 2008.
However the default seems to be that Domain Administrators do not have access to the user folders under these directories.
How can I do a file based backup of these structures without getting these sort of messages all the time ?

SBS 2008 is based on Server 2008 which does not have a native facility for file level backup. You will need a third party program to do file level backups, and these should have a way to do them built in. However:
You will have to modify the security settings, which starts with the admin taking ownership. Here is an explanation of redirected folders and two other links to suggested methods:
The second link you provided - whilst a long thread - doesn't seem to provide any answers - just a lot of people complaining about the same problem. Or have I missed something / misunderstood.
