isaiah Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Dear Friends, Please help. I keep getting "Can't use Open File Backup option for Acer (C:) error -1017 (insufficient permission). I've done all the obvious things, like renaming the Retrospect file and making sure that I am logged in as the right person; no luck. Having spent the better part of the day on it, I need some help! Yours, Isaiah Acer Aspire 3680 Running Windows XP SP2 Retrospect Professional Version 7.5.387 Driver and Hot Fix 7.5.11.100 Saving to Buffalo 250G External Hard Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r33Uj9d Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Does the volume you're trying to backup contain any junction points pointing to other volumes? I have seen this cause open-file backup failures at least when VSS does not support the other volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaiah Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks, r33, for replying. Sorry to be vague, but I'm not sure what you mean by junction points. We are not very sophisticated users, but the Acer hard drive is partitioned into 2 drives, the D drive being called Acer Data. ij Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
