After you log on with an account that has Backup Operator permissions, when
you run a backup across the network from a Windows NT 4.0 computer you may
receive the following error in the backup.log file stating you do not have
permissions to back up some directories:
You do not have permission to access portions of data.
Please see the owner or administrator to get permission.
Directory F:\data

ability does not work properly in Windows NT 4.0.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has updated RDR.SYS to open remote files in the correct context.
This update is available from Microsoft support channels or directly from
