Volume Shadow Copy Service warning: VSS was denied access to the root of volume (Win 7 Home Premium)

permissionsrootvss

I am mystified by the following warning in the Event Viewer. It is very frequent and always the same. Can anyone explain this to me? Is it a cause for concern? Might it have anything to do with my backup application (Jungle Disk). You can find an evtx file here. Thanks very much.

Denying administrators from accessing volume roots can cause many unexpected failures, and will prevent VSS from functioning properly. Check security on the volume, and try the operation again.

Resolve:

Ensure that VSS has access to the volume root directory

If the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) does not have access to the volume root directory, shadow copy creation on the volume will fail.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To ensure that VSS has access to the volume root directory:

Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. Type icacls (VolumeRootPath) /grant system:f at the command prompt, where (VolumeRootPath) is the path to the volume root directory, for example, icacls C:\ /grant system:f

For more information about the icacls command, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=104873.
