Shouldn't that be someunixboxwithsamba.mydomain.org?
Um, no....
Yes, I am running amanda and samba on a debian box, but when I am trying to
backup a Windows box with the above config I get the reported error...
You're missing the point. When you back up a Windows box with amanda, the
actual client you put in the disklist is the *nix box that connects to the
Windows box via smbclient. So, your DLE for the Windows client *should*
be:
someunixboxwithsamba.mydomain.org //winpc/share samba
where someunixboxwithsamba.mydomain.org is the system on which your
amandapass file from above resides.
