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.
Well hey, you're right!
It's been a while since I've backed up Windows boxes... forgot about that.
Thanks!
