Hi,
I’m using Duplicacy Web-UI version on a Windows 2016 server system. It works great, but I have an issue getting it to backup folders which have restricted permissions.
Specifically it’s the user “Redirected Folder” folders which are causing a problem… the log (included below) reports that it can’t access them.
The folders have permissions which only permit the user to which they belong access.
The Duplicacy service runs as “Local System”, which I understood would have full disk access regardless of permission settings.
I’ve also tried making a new user - adding the user to the “Backup Operators” Windows security group and changing the service to use that instead - but I still get the same result. (The “Backup Operators” group is supposed to have access to all files)
Finally I tried adding my own user account to the Backup Operators group to see if that would help - but again the files can’t be accessed.
Any thoughts on how I could resolve this? Ideally I DON’T want to have to assign additional permissions to the folders as I don’t really want an administrator user to have access by default.
Thanks,
David
