OK, so I am trying to backup a windows client (vista, if that matters) (I've always just done Linux and Mac clients before) and I decided to just go with the smb transfer scheme. I have put these four lines in my per-pc config file for the machine:
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'rpbarlow'; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb'; $Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'rpbarlow'; $Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '***'; Now on the windows side of things, I made sure to share the folder, to open the "File and Print Sharing" ports on the firewall, and I made sure that rpbarlow had full permissions on the folder in the security and sharing tabs for the folder. It seems like I can access the folder from the windows machine itself. In fact, I have indeed verified that I can mount the shared folder on my linux machine, so I'm pretty confident that the permissions are correct on the windows side of things. So why is backuppc having trouble? The error just says that no files were dumped for the share. No explicit errors. The log just has these contents: Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\lappy786\\rpbarlow -U rpbarlow -E -N -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - Xfer PIDs are now 14710,14709 session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0 session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0 tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share rpbarlow) Backup aborted (No files dumped for share rpbarlow) I tried running that command directly as the backuppc users, and I get the famous NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED message. BUT, I can change -U rpbarlow to -U rpbarlow[%passwordHere] and I get session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0 session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0 instead. So something's still not quite right, and I'm guessing it's with the command I am using to call the backup. Any hints?
