This is probably an easy one. However, I do appreciate any help. Dell sends no documentation on Backup Exec. Certain files are greyed-out in the BACKUP SELECTION screen. More importantly, the share that holds my User Profiles is greyed. You cannot select it. At present, the PROFILES share is default-Everyone Full Control. Each member profile is Username-FC, Admins-FC, System-FC(full control). What might I be doing wrong? What are the rules/best practices? Thanks again! PS- I am usingthe Remote NT/2000 Agent.

I believe the reason they are grayed out is that they need to be backed up within a larger scope. Profiles and such are part of the active directory (which, by the way, you cannot backup by itself either) instead, backup the parent folder to this one, the system state, and it should work.
