Vista - Backup: only administrator, no credentials request

08-07-2008

At home, I'm trying to backup my files on Windows Vista Ultimate, but it
says to me that only an administrator can do it. Why doesn't it ask me for
administrator credentials, like my Vista Business at job does?

Thanks in advance.

Rightclick the Backup shortcut, and click 'run as administrator'

Ok, I've thought of that. But only now I could try it. No success: I got the
error message (translated from Portuguese - sorry): "There is no support for
RUNAS command. You must run this program as the connected user".

Why this? Why is my Vista Ultimate so demanding and my job's Vista Business
is not?

Thanks again.
