    The "access denied" is often due to either a change of duties on safety drives or folders (or changing the properties of reader and / or folders in the "safety"), is due to installation "shaky" third-party software security (firewall, as Zone-Alarm for example, or an anti-virus software, like Norton Internet Security example, etc. ...), or it can also happen with software management that locks the hard drive: example problem reassembled O & O Defrag.

    A message that has a 1% chance to help. If you have encrypted files (shown in green) you can not program a backup of these files to a disk formatted as FAT32 (you can only to a partition to NTFS) I hope you get more answers for the other cases, because this is quiet a weird problem. try to check in the hard disk management and also check for a bad sector or so.

    Make a check of the hard drive with chkdsk / r:

    1. Click Start, type CMD in the search box
    2. Right click CMD above and click run as administrator
    3. Type the following command and press <ENTER> then enter Chkdsk /R


    Press Y (Letter) and restart the computer

    It will make a hard disk check, it should let it continue.
    So the following command sfc / scannow was from the same window.
    Check in the services window that the service associated with the backup (Volume Shadow Copy) is started.

    Hello you could try to disable shadow copies before making a backup. Go to Computer, right click on your hard drive, Properties / Disk Cleanup and click the More Options tab, you'll see System Restore and Shadow Copies. Since I do not have Vista on my computer, it is possible that disabling the snapshots, as you delete your restore points. To check if it's worth it for you .
