Start backup attempt ---
Insert blank CD, name it, drag folders from HD folders. ERROR MESSAGE -- there are files that you don't have permission to copy. ( I'm the ONLY user). Figure I'll enable 'root' and work from there.
Did the 'root' enable routine. Log Out -- Log back in as root. Started the backup routine again!
Insert blank CD, name CD, drag DH folders to target CD, SAME ERROR MESSAGE
Then it isn't, strictly speaking, permissions issues. More likely the file is locked because it's in use.
What are you trying to back up?
