I've installed backuppc on a Ubuntu box and can backup successfully shares from an XP machine on my network. (The shares are the "My Document" folders from the two main users.). I would prefer to backup the whole C: drive, but I'm running into a problem. I shared the C: drive in XP and listed it as the samba share to backup in the *.pl file for backuppc. The backup runs successfully and no error shows up in the server log. However, when I browse the backup I see that it only backed up some of the files on the drive. For example, it backs up the 'Documents and Settings' folder but none of the information in the subfolders that hold the user "My Documents" data. When I click on a user folder (folder that is within the 'Documents and Settings' folder, it says that "The directory C/Documents and Settings/Tyler is empty." (my user name and folder) This folder isn't empty. It holds some preference information and my "My Documents" folder, which I can backup with this installation if I specify that share in the *.pl config file for this machine.
Can someone point me in the right direction. Is it possible to back up the entire C drive? I looked at some how to's and they only said to enable file sharing in XP for the C drive, which I did. Thanks. Also please respond to this email. I've never used a mailing list before and I'm not sure how they work. My email is rtylerdunn at h o t ma i l . co m. Thanks twice. _________________________________________________________________ http://liveearth.msn.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
