SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows NT, you may receive the following error message when you back up files using NTBACKUP:

You Do Not Have Permission to Access Portions of Data. Please see the Owner or Administrator to Get Permission.



CAUSE
Normally, this indicates that you do not have appropriate permissions for the folder you are attempting to back up or to which you are restoring files.

This problem can also be caused when the specified directory name used to backup has been misspelled or does not exist. In addition, the above error can happen when you use a batch file for the backup operation.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, make sure you have the necessary permissions to perform the backup and that the folder name is correctly entered and exists.
