More info?)
Bert,
My gut feeling is that srservice is not able to access my C: or F: SVI
folder to write the drivetable.txt file or the restore files themselves.
Do you know a security policy guru that can help set policies to log events
to the Security event log for the system event ID 104 error type 5: access
is denied
or should I post a new question to windowsxp.security_admin?
Regards,
Sam Holbrook
