OK. This is getting stranger... :-) I logged into the server with the local admin account (which I NEVER do) and all the files show up. My own account that I was logging in with is a DA account. I tried adding my account directly to the local administrators group. Still only see half the files. Obviously a perms issue, but why? Even an elevated Explorer window doesn't show all the files... *********************** Charlie Kaiser charl...@golden-eagle.org Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] > Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 11:03 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Backup Exec 12.5 file restore missing a bunch of files > > > Does the account running the BE service have the same perms as the > account doing the folder right clicking and checking? > I think the right clicking account is lacking some perms on the target > drive. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Charlie Kaiser [mailto:charl...@golden-eagle.org] > Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 1:01 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Backup Exec 12.5 file restore missing a bunch of files > > File server migration project.
