BA714: Could not copy directory attributes

Error code Product Applies to
BA714 BackupAssist BackupAssist v5.3.0 and later

Description

This can be due to the NTFS data associated with the files listed in the backup report. BackupAssist may not be able to properly manage the NTFS information on the source or destination system.

Reasons for this may be:

  • An exclusive lock placed on these by another process such as anti-virus or Windows UAC, that is active when the backup is running.
  • Permissions related, not being able to access the NTFS data correctly.

Resolution

To address this issue, please follow the instructions provided in the KB article BA4010 Unable to open NTFS backup streams
