FBackup Forum

Hi,
I have just installed FBAckup on one of our machines within our network which has Active Directory. I did manage to backup Outlook even when it was open from a client to a directory within a Server when I logged in as administrator on the client machine. The Backup is failed when I tried to Backup Outlook from a client machines which I have logged In as normal user (no administrative right).
See the error below:

Any suggestion of how can I solve this problem in order to backup opened Outlook to a folder on the Backup Server.
Many thanks for the help.

I did not understand your reply. Can you please give more clarification.

If you don't have administrator rights, you cannot back up open files.
Backup open files feature works

- only on Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server or Windows Vista

- only for users with administrator access rights to copy open files

- only on local hard drives

- only on NTFS formatted partitions

- only if the VSS (Volume Shadow Service) is running and it is properly configured
