    Are you able to complete the task manually? It seems as if you don't have access.

    I think the issue may be that you need to get the files from your BillBackUpReportPath first, and then move the output of "Files" from that action:

    I'm curious if running PAD as an administrator would help:

    Hi,

    Can you verify that your file is not opened during the execution?

    Can you share the flow?
