[Bug 1877700] [NEW] Backup crashed during folder selection. Backup was failing to execute because could not get write permission

[ernestrayburn at hotmail.com]

Public bug reported:

Backup would not execute because it could not get access permission to
drive and folder automatically on its own. Running Backup manually was
not a problem. Decided to re-select folder for backup destination and
program hung.
