Today I am seeing access denied on all granular backups when yesterday I was able to do them without issue. My goal is to export a couple of document libraries from this old site and import them into my new one. (Please note I am using SharePoint Server 2019 and not SharePoint Online.)

The account I am using is a:

  • farm admin
  • site collection admin
  • has full control on the site and selected document library.
  • has the Server Roles "dbcreator and securityadmin".

    Please make sure the account you used is a local account. To check local account, go to Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups -> Double-click the Administrators group -> Look for the user name in the Members.

    Make sure the space of destination drive is enough.
