I am running Windows Server 2003R2 and trying to use robocopy to
perform nightly backups. I created a BAT file continong the
appropriate robocopy commands.

If I create a scheduled task to run the bat file using an account with
administrator privledges, it runs fine. But I don't want the account
running robocopy to have admin rights. I created a user account called
RobocopyUser just for running the back up. I made it a member of
Users, Backup Operators and Distributed COM Users. I gave the account
full control over the directories it reads from and writes to. It
still doesn't work.

What can I do short of giving RobocopyUser admin rights?

Thanks,
Pete


A good starting point in resolving the problem would be for you
to report exactly ***why*** it does not work and what error
messages you see, same as you expect your users to report the
error messages they see on their screen.
