Windows 7 backup to NAS share
Hi All,
I am trying to setup a backup from a windows 7 64 bit pro computer to a share on a readynas pro 6. I have shared the c:\users\bhoth directory and called the share bhoth.
When i start the backup. it runs for a little while then fails.
Here is a small portion of the log:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \AppData\Local\Application Data\*
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \AppData\Local\History\*\AppData\Local\IconCache.db
It looks like it is failing when trying to backup the hidden directory AppData.
Is there anyway I can exclude the AppData directory? Or tell it to not backup hidden directories?
Thanks!

I get the same error :(- Make sure that everyone has full access on the share that you are trying to backup. Moving the files that you want to backup to another share will also be an option.

just a single user has full read/write to the shared directory. The user is bhoth. I have set up the rights using advanced sharing in Win 7.
Another issue I am having is even if I point to bhoth/Documents. It still fails as Win 7 uses some type of symbolic link for 3 directories:
from c:\users\bhoth\music to c:\users\bhoth\Documents\My Music
from c:\users\bhoth\Pictures to c:\users\bhoth\Documents\My Pictures
from c:\users\bhoth\Videos to c:\users\bhoth\Documents\My Videos
Even using advanced sharing, I have no rights to these linked directories. I have verified this just browsing from another windows box that I have no rights to the linked directories.
How are others getting around this? Using Win XP to setup a share works perfect.
Thanks
