Setting Up Privileges to Allow Back Ups

You must have Back up files and directories privilege in the Windows operating system.
Users in the groups Administrators, Backup Operators, and Domain Administrators have this privilege by default. If you do not have the Back up files and directories privilege, an administrator can assign you these privileges.

To assign the Back up files and directories privilege to a user:

1. In Administrative Tools access Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Back up files and directories.

2. Add the user and click OK .
