Unable to back up directory

When I run a backup, it always fails with a directory access error. I have ensured that the folders have proper rights so that the backup should be able to access them. There isn't anything in the folder, they are hidden, and they are system folders.

Suggestions?


ERROR:

Directory \\\C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreInstall_Directory was not found, or could not be accessed.
None of the files or subdirectories contained within will be backed up.

    You should not backup the sysvol directly. Check the registry under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup and you should see a listing for NTFRs. These files should never be touched directly.

    Use System State backup (or Shadow Copy Components) to backup this data.

    Hello,

    You can also try backing the System State with NTBackup.

    Let us know the result.
