BackupPC – Enabling on Windows 7

James Young · December 13, 2011

By default, Windows 7 will not allow access to the C$ administrative share, so you’ll have trouble getting BackupPC to work.  To solve this, run up Registry Editor and set the following registry key;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy

To the REG_DWORD (32-bit) value of 1.
