Guys, I've just set up Backkup PC on an Ubuntu 5.10 server config, using apt-get install. Thus I didn't have to run configure.pl
I'm using smb (it's a home network - so not so worried about the security here. It needs to be functional - and some of the PC's don't really have capacity to run any more services). I can get backup pc to sucessfully back up other directries, but not Documents and settings. I'm using a user 'backuppc' who is a memeber of the Backup operators group. I'm getting the following error message: Getting files newer than Tue Jan 3 09:56:19 2006 Domain=[MERLIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, verbose NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID listing \Documents?and?Settings\gareth Yet if I connect using the smbcliet comand line using the same user, I can then list all the gareth directory. My config for merlin looks like this: $Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb'; $Conf{SmbShareName} = ['D$','O$']; $Conf{SmbShareUserName} = '****'; $Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '****'; $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = { 'D$' => ['/Documents?and?Settings/gareth', '/Shared_Stuff'], 'O$' => ['/Diving','/gym_ani'] }; BTW, it's in /etc/backuppc rather than in the local PC config directory. Does this matter - I modified the local backup config file to get thi. I suspect that there is a really easy answer to this - but I've been banging my head against this for a couple of hours and can't see the answer at all. gareth jones ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
