  2. Open the Control Panel and go to Shared Folders
  3. Select the Shared Folder containing the data to be backed up and click Edit
  4. In the Permissions tab, select "System internal user" from the dropdown menu on the left 
  5. For the user backuptool, click the checkbox in the Custom column
  6. In the dialog that appears, ensure the following:

    2. All permissions are checked
