translated.
Symptoms: When doing
a database backup in the Data Workbench Application with
Windows 2000, you receive the error "The Backup Failed.
Received Error: Some or all identity references could not be

the QAS\Backup folder. This can be done by

2. Right Click on the Backup Folder and select
Properties.

4. Click the "Add" button.
5. Browse for the user named "NETWORK" and click
OK.
6. Click on the NETWORK user.

Allow.
