Sorry, I edited my last post as, in fact, your suggestion to check the Sharepoint box worked. I just had not saved the changes and after clicking OK and returning to the backup area and trying again it worked. Thanks so much for this baffling solution as I'd all but given up on finding a fix.

Seems weird though and must be a bug. I thnk it's a bit rubbish of Microsoft to not have fixed it by now.

I take back my last post. I clicked OK to save the opton changes and came back in and this time the backup worked. Weird why a Sharepoint option has anything to do with it since I don't use Sharepoint.
