Issue Change backup location fails with Access Denied

Andrew_Newth

Basic Pleskian
I have a server with a networked HDD where I store my backups using the FTP repository functionality in Plesk. I would like to change the default Plesk backup location to this drive as well. When I try to do this in Plesk Reconfiguration I get the following error:

Unable to write file backup security descriptor data: (5) Access is denied.
at (psaobsolete::DataLocation::Change line 333)
at psaobsolete.DataLocation.Change(String source, String dest)
at reconfigurator.ChangeLocation.SetRelocateState()

Would anyone know how I would give correct permission for Plesk to use this as a backup location?

Thanks!
 
Thanks Igor,

As a networked drive I can navigate to it and read/write on the drive via explorer but how do I give plesk these permissions? It seems like Plesk doesn't have the correct permissions but I'm not sure how to allow it?
