I'd like to archive a windows.old folder off of my system to save space but don't have permissions to some of the folders in it, even when running as administrator or when running as system (using psexec -s -i
).
I want to keep it in an untouched state so don't want to change any permissions / ownership. I know some backup utilities like Windows 7 backup and Acronis, etc. are able to read all files when running with elevated privileges - is there some way to do likewise or some other way to do this?
