Access denied when accessing Volume Shadow Copy Service

[keeskoets]

System:
Windows 7 Proffessional 64 bit
FFS 5.0

I am logged into windows a an administrator. Outlook is NOT running. I am
trying to synch local drive D with an external harddrive.

I get the following error:

Error copying locked file "D:\Documents\Outlook Files\Outlook.pst"!

Error accessing Volume Shadow Copy Service!
(The caller does not have sufficient backup privileges or is not an
administrator.
HRESULT: 0x80070005,
Access is denied. Volume: "D:\")

I read on a different forum that the problem is that the depostory of windows
has the wrong info. I already did the following to reset the directory in the
CMD.exe window:

net stop winmgmt
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
ren repository repository.old
net start winmgmt
exit
restart computer

but... I still get the same error. Who knows what the problem could be??

FFS needs to be started with admin rights.

Thank you for your reply.

As I wrote, I am logged into Windows as an administrator. So when I start FFS,
it was started with admin rights. Or is something lese necessary?

In addition: under global settings, I ticked the copy locked files option.

Yes, try right-clicking the executable and select "run as administrator", this
should work now.

[keeskoets]

Yes, you are right. Right clicking the excutable works.

But this means that the desktop short cut will not work.

I have FFS set up as an automatic task in the night. How can I make sure it is
always "run as an administrator"

[Zenju]

You can set properties of FreeFileSync.exe to "always run as administrator".

[keeskoets]

You are correct again. The problem is solved.

Thank you VERY MUCH for your help!!!!!!
