Hello,
I'm reaching out because I use a backup script for my backups.
It utilizes xcopy, but the problem is that when I run my script, even as an administrator, it says access denied.
Thank you for your help

    Hello,

    No need to run your script with admin rights, try removing the /H switch

    Your script could be simplified like this: 

    call :copie Desktop Bureau call :copie Documents Documents call :copie Pictures Images call :copie Music Musique call :copie Downloads Telechargements call :copie Videos Videos exit :copie xcopy "%USERPROFILE%\%1" "D:\SAUVEGARDES\%USERNAME%\%1\" /E /R /Y /I /D echo Backup %2 [OK] goto :eof

    Even when I do an xcopy without variables from desktop to documents, it tells me access denied. I think it comes from my PC's configuration...

      It makes me think of a problem with misconfigured NTFS permissions, but in that case, you wouldn't have access either through Windows Explorer.

      Do you have access denied for a specific file or for a folder?

      It says access denied to the entire folder...

      The source folder or the destination folder?

      It would be good to check the NTFS permissions at least on the destination folder.
      Can you post a screenshot of the permissions for the folder D:\BACKUPS\Cache Name?
