When using the Automated Recovery Wizard to perform a
backup of the system using 4 mm tape drive, I get the
following errors:

Error: Could not access portions of directory System
State\COM+ Class Registration Database.
You may not have permission to open the file, or the
directory may be missing or damaged.
Please contact the owner or administrator.


Error: Could not access portions of directory System
State\Registry.
You may not have permission to open the file, or the
directory may be missing or damaged.
Please contact the owner or administrator.

I do have admin rights. I tried re-installinf XP over the
original installation and still get the same errors.
This is after most of the backup has completed.
Can anyone tell me how to get around this? Thanks.
 
Tony,

You need to add the account that is being used to perform the backup to the "Backup User" group.
