I have added "Users" and "cyg_server" account to directory permissions. I still cannot cd to or copy from the backup sub-directory. I saw postings regarding accessing certain System32 files failing with 32-bit apps. I tried creating a file system Junction link to the inetsrv directory, still no luck. $ ./cygcheck.exe -V cygcheck (cygwin) 1.7.15 System Checker for Cygwin Copyright (C) 1998 - 2012 Red Hat, Inc.
