This is SBS 2003 R2 Premium.

On the LAN we have two NAS devices. One (A) is not joined to the
Domain but can be accessed via the LAN. It has a list of authorised
users and is setup so the user Administrator can access all areas.
The other (B) has been joined to the domain, and uses the domain users
for access control. Again Administrator can access all areas.

If we use the Backup wizard and configure it to backup to A and a
specific folder, it then runs quite happily (if a little slowly) and
the backup files duly appear (until it runs out of space!!).


If we use the Backup Wizard and configure it to backup to B and a
specfic folder (with the same access privileges as A) and then run it,
the process creates the sub-folder "Backup Files" (as it does above),
but then fails unable to access the folder.

At this point there is an empty file in Backup Files and it wont let
me look at it as I (Administrator) dont have sufficient privileges.

I've tried changing the ownership permissions of both the file and the
folder but it still wont allow me to access the file or delete it.

So, my question is, why is the Backup process creating a folder and
file with different ownership and privileges, and what are they?

TIA,

JohnK

I'm not sure what the answer is but I think it is because the (B) NAS
supports AD. The SBS backup runs as the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account not the
administrator account. I'm guessing there is a permissions or inheritance
issue with the parent folder.
