Hello!
I need some "for dummies" guidance here. A MS Windows 7 computer has an admin account and two normal user accounts. I've installed FFS using the admin account and created a job to backup everything under c:\Users to a NAS. I start the job in FFS, but it ends in errors in the log saying that it does not have permissions to the users' folders. And true, only the admin's folders are backed up.
So, how to give FFS permissions to backup all users's data?

It seems there are different options:
1) The simplest, but probably least preferred:
provide the admin-user access to all (or at least the relevant) user-sections in C:\Users
and similarly to the relevant target folders. Then run the sync under admin-credentials.
2) Assuming these are scheduled tasks: define a different sync per user (or make a single one using macro's for the user-name) and create a scheduled task per user-section, running each scheduled task under the user credentials of the user at stake.
