I am trying to setup Amanda to backup my wife's Windows laptop to my linux desktop machine. They are both on the same LAN (192.168.1.nn).
Does anybody know if the version of Amanda suplied with opensuse 10.3 is compiled with SMB support? Is there an idiot's guide somewhere - I usually need unambiguous step-by-step instructions for this sort of thing ;) I've got everything setup on the linux box, such that amcheck returns no errors, but it can't connect to the Windows machine, which is listed in .amandahosts Amcheck's output as follows: Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /space/amandahold/daily: 1716232 kB disk space available, using 296960 kB as requested read label `DailySet101', date `X' NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Tape DailySet101 label ok NOTE: conf info dir /etc/amanda/daily/curinfo does not exist NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
