We run Backup Exec 8.6 on Windows 2000 Server. We have a standard backup job set up which runs 5 times a week and includes the System State information. Periodically, the job shows a status of "failed" and the log shows :
"Unable to attach to \\Server\System?State
Access is denied.
To Backup or Restore System State Administrator privileges are required"
The next night, without any changes or reboots, the job will succeed. For example, the job was successful June 23 through June 27 after failing June 20. Then failed again on June 30 - ran OK July 1, 2 and 3 and failed last night July 7.
Obviously, the privileges required are in effect, but sometimes access gets denied. No pattern has emerged of other activity on the system during these times. Any ideas?
