Changing system account backups run under

When you run backups manually through the client they are run under the current logged in user's context. This means that the backup client will be able to access whatever files and folders that the logged in client can access.

When running the backup when the user is not logged in or if the user running the backups do not have the correct permissions to access certain files you will need to change the system account being used.
