Cobian Reflector • Group "Backup Operator"

Hi there!
I'm using Cobian Reflector and it's working fine - but I do backup tasks with my domain user credentials. (which have NTFS permissions to all backuping folders)
When I try to use domain user - "Backup" which is a member of built-in group "Backup Operators" I have error - Access in denied.

On one hand there's information like "A backup operator is an user that can back up and restore the computer regardless of file system security. A member of the Backup Operators group can extract files and directories for which the user would normally not have access". Sounds pretty good.

But on the other hand (from docs.microsoft.com)- This user right is effective only when an application attempts access through the NTFS backup application programming interface (API) through a tool such as NTBACKUP.EXE. Otherwise, standard file and directory permissions apply.

So my question is - is it Conbian Reflector use NTFS API? In this case adding user in "Backup Operators" should work.. but in my case it is not

Thanks in advance!
