Backup Issues with Fbackup and MS Access for Standard Users
Posted: Wed Dec 31, 2025 7:55 am
Hello,
I'm currently using Fbackup to back up my MS Access databases (*.accdb). I've observed that when the Windows user is set as a standard user, the backup fails if the database is open. However, if the user has administrator privileges, Fbackup successfully copies the database even while it's in use. Is this behavior expected? Is there a way to configure Windows settings to allow standard users to utilize Volume Shadow Copy for backing up files that are currently open?
Thank you!
