    Try running your backup software as Administrator.

    (Right click stortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.)

    This will elevate your privilege level.

    Glad it worked for you.

    You can also set it to always run as Administrator if you wish:

     

    Right click shortcut

    Click Properties

    Click Advanced...

    Check Run as adminstrator
