Access denied when Robocopying from Netapp to VNX

Question

Hello

I am using robocopy to copy data from Netapp to VNX, whenever I use the /B (backup mode) I get access denied errors.
Running from Windows 2008 server. If /B is not used, no errors.
Files are copied even we have those access denied errors but ACLs are not copied.
I am a local administrator for both Netapp Controller (source server) and for the VNX CIFs Server.

When I run emcopy source target /secfix I do not get any error. and permissions are copied

Do you know why this could be happening?
And EMcopy nativelyi includes the /B option (backup mode) is this correct?

add yourself to backup operator group on Netapp (if such thing exists)

But I am already a member of the local administrators on both Netapp and VNX, plus I can robocpy without problems using /B to a windows server but not to the VNX

i would still try backup operator as well as these params https://support.emc.com/kb/22871

If you want to use backup mode you need to have backup and restore privileges

I don’t think Administrators is enough – this is typically reserved to backup operators – might be changed through GPO as well
