Cannot Connect to Network Drive While Backing Up

• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 4.0, 4.0 SP3
• Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Users with all the required rights may have problems backing up files to a server on the network. When this occurs, the error message in the backup log reads:

Unable to connect to network drive. Logon type not granted

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Everyone group on the destination server does not have "Access this computer from network" rights.

RESOLUTION

Check to make sure the "Access this computer from network" right is granted to the Everyone group on the destination server. You can use the User Manager for Domains tool to do this.

The Backup Operators group cannot gain access to the resource on the server if this right is not granted to the Everyone group.
