Description of my issue:
Warnings are listed after full backup regarding 3 unreadable directories. I have checked user permissions and it shows all user have full control for the root folder. Attached is the log when I was backing up after I cleared the Joomla temporary folder. Thank you in advance!

Hi Nicholas, thank you for your prompt reply. I have upgraded to Akeeba Backup 3.7.10, but the problem still exist. The log file is attached. Thank you!

I have checked the permissions. IIS users do have full privileges on site root directory.

You are getting a good backup of the database, but when it starts to back up the files, you get:

INFO    |130905 10:48:27|Scanning directories of <root>
INFO    |130905 10:48:27|Scanning files of <root>
INFO    |130905 10:48:27|Empty directory <root>

Two things can cause this, you don't have proper rights to the root directory or IIS is lying to Akeeba about where your site root is.

Let's be very specific, you need rights to the root directory itself, not just rights to the files within the root directory.
