Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To fix this issue, you should add Jack to the Local Backup Operator group on his computer.
Key Takeaway: The backup operators group has permission to access storage devices and to bypass file permissions to backup files. You should add Jack to this group so that he can inherit these permissions. Once the permissions are inherited, he will automatically gain access to all the storage devices.
