Error backing up SSAS database

  • Having trouble backing up an Analysis Services database. Both the GUI and scripted backup return the following error. The following system error occurred: Access is denied. .

    (Microsoft.AnalysisServices). I am new to SSAS so really have no idea how to proceed. My account is listed as a Server administrator in the Security section of the Analysis Properties window. Is there some other permission I'm missing?

  • Make sure that the SSAS service account has write permision on the path where you are trying to back up the database.

  • Service account has full permissions to the backup folder, and is in the server admins group. When starting the backup, a zero byte file is created, but never populated.
