when you deleted the folder and created a new one, did you do this from your PC or from the Server.

Remember, Share permissions are not the same as NTFS file permissions. If you deleted the folder and created a new one, the new one inherits the share persmissions of the share, until you go in and change them.

To create/restore files, the folder you created needs write permissions

  • i said i can create files and folders... the ntbackup also restores the folders after i delete them... just not the files... "Reason: Access is denied" why i am just not sure why i have permission to create files and folders but ntbackup claims it cannot
