Unfortunately, it breaks in the same way:

2006-03-28 13:24:20 full backup started for share S$
2006-03-28 13:33:09 Got fatal error during xfer (Didn't get entire file. size=460206, nread=131040) 2006-03-28 13:33:14 Backup aborted (Didn't get entire file. size=460206, nread=131040)
2006-03-28 13:33:14 Saved partial dump 0

It seems to be related to this thread:

In short: it's possible to create longer filenames on the Windows machine than on a Linux machine.

And this is when BackupPC (or smbclient?) seems to break.

More info:

smbclient \\\\192.168.10.4\\C\$ -U user%pass -E -N -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc -

creates the tar file just fine.

When uncompressing the archive (tar -xf), tar complains about file names being too long, but doesn't break.

So the problem lies somewhere in BackupPC?
