I decided to focus on getting smbclient backups working with amanda so read the docs/samba stuff and added relevant entries to my disklist file and also ran amcheck a few times. I am running amanda on a Debian Unstable system with a very recent CVS version of Samba that is in the unstable tree of debian. The tape device is a ecrix vxa-1 which has worked flawlessly backing up bsd and linux systems. The evening backup just concluded and I got the backup report from amanda. The message is filled with errors like this:
? ERROR: string overflow by 10 in safe_strcpy [\Documents and +Settings\mperry\Local Settings\Temp] ? ERROR: string overflow by 18 in safe_strcpy [\Documents and +Settings\mperry\Local Settings\Temp] ? ERROR: string overflow by 16 in safe_strcpy [\Documents and +Settings\mperry\Local Settings\Temp] ? ERROR: string overflow by 20 in safe_strcpy [\Documents and +Settings\mperry\Local Settings\Temp] and several NT sharing violations. Being a newbie at the samba and smbclient backups, I am wondering what these repeated errors mean. Most of them occur in the "Documents and Settings" folder. The system being backed up is a Windows 2000 pro box. Thanks for any enlightenment. BTW, I set up /etc/amandapass per the readme documentation to backup the C$ share and I am an administrator on that system with an admin login. Amcheck runs with no problems at all. -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
