This program is hands down the slickest thing I have seen in a long time. I have been using it at home for a couple of months, and now I am trying to convince my work place that this is the way to go for our backup needs. I have run into one little snag that I cant seem to figure out for myself though.
I am trying to backup an NFS share from my Windows 2003 server to my Ubuntu Linux server. (the samba seems to work fine, but I was wondering if it would be a better approach to use this instead - I am not sure if there are any reasons to avoid this approach so if you have any suggestions about avoiding it I would also like to know that =) ). So I have the NFS share set up, I can mount it no problem, and it is part of the Linux file system /mnt/MFS/corp - I can access it with any user of my Linux system - all users that is except the backuppc user & root. I specifically have root locked out, but backuppc should be able to get to this read-only share - I think it may be because the backuppc user is some kind of special web user (not a full normal user of the Linux system). Is there any way to make this user a normal user of the Linux system? This would allow for me to be able to log into the Linux server as the user backuppc - rather than having to do every thing with su backuppc? And if it is a normal user, I think the user mapping should work for the NFS share - where right now it is failing. Thanks in advance for any assistance with this matter and thanks again for such a wonderful program. -- We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in.
