WBadmin backups and permissions - thoroughly confused on restoring files

$

0

Windows 2008 R2 Standard SP1

Using a Power Shell script on this server to backup this server and the script is launched via Task Scheduler.

Task launch looks like this:
Program/Script: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Add Arguments: -nologo -noninteractive –Command "& {F:\Scripts\Backup\Backup.ps1}"
Start in: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

It is set to run as an administrative account.

Here is the contents of the PS1 script:

Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\BackupServer\backups$\ -include:'c:,F:\Data,F:\homedirs,F:\Inventory,F:\Production,F:\Share' -allCritical -systemState -vssFull -quiet

$date = get-date -uFormat "%Y-%m-%d"

ren \\BackupServer\backups$\WindowsImageBackup\Server \\BackupServer\backups$\WindowsImageBackup\Server-$date

The backup appears to run successfully. There are no errors in the error logs. According to the logs for that backup date all files were successfully backed up, INCLUDING the data in homedirs.

Despite that when I go to restore data for someone's homedir I cannot do so. When I look through the catalog using Windows Server Backup I cannot see anything in any homedir unless I previously had permission to that directory.

Why is this and how do I resolve this? I need to be able to see individual files within the catalog if I want to restore them for users. I have Enterprise/Domain Admin permissions so adding in permissions isn't a problem but it's something I would prefer not to do.
