Whenever I click on the backup link on the server management homepage i get prompted to connect to localhost, but i can nver get past it as it fails my usr id/pwd (although i know its right) and after 3 attempts shows the following:

Server Error in '/Backup' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\backup\55b79170\2502a0a" is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\backup\55b79170\2502a0a" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

I've tried to find the directory in question but it doesn't exist.

Strangely i can configure the backup process with any of the winodws formas but any web ones cause this problem.

Thanks for any assistance
