As mentioned, I've set C:\ to be shareable and, since BackupPC has backed up some of the top level directories this is OK. However since Program Files files isn't being backed up, its sharing is set wrong. The General Properties tab for Program Files have "read-only" checked and the Advanced Properties tab includes the statement All options on this tab are disabled because this folder is used by the operating system. So the permissions appear to be unchangeable. The question becomes, "How does BackupPC _ever_ deal with Program Files?" With regards to user directories such as "My Documents", one _could_ make the directory sharable. This doesn't seem to be the right thing to do. Are you using BackupPC with windows? Are you using smb or another access method, i.e. rsync? Thanks..
