Backup failed - Access is denied

I kicked off a first backup - it managed to backup 20gb then stopped with
Access is denied (0x80070005).
I sometimes get access permission problems when looking at files belonging
to other (administrator) users, though I get past this by clicking OK when
Vista asks for permission. Presumably this is a bug that will eventually be
resolved?

Not really a bug. Make sure the backup process has the right privileges to
access everything it needs to.
