The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5

SUMMARY

When you attempt to restore the Microsoft Exchange Directory or Information Store from an online backup, you may receive the following error:

   You do not have permission to access portions of \<directory>.
   Please see the owner or administrator to get permission.
   Error writing alternate file data.

This error occurs when Windows NT Service Pack 5 (SP5) is applied. SP5 replaces the Ntbackup.exe that is installed by Microsoft Exchange in the <system root>\System32 directory.

To resolve this problem, copy Ntbackup.exe from the Microsoft Exchange Server compact disc into the <system root>\System32 directory.
