First: backuppc wiki :http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Tips_and_Tricks I don't use it anymore but this is what i remember: The user you fill in in the config.pl e.g. user: backupuser passw: password You add that user to every PC to the administrator group (and backup operators?) > 2) a pointer to a Samba-xp how to....where Samba is NOT a domain > controller When your clients are statically mapped, use that as client name.

For backuppc to > work, what is the easiest way to configure Samba (not as a domain > controller?) backuppc and smb just have to do with how you access the clients. It has nothing to do with DC's etc. You only need the package installed to have the smbclient program +- I'm not at work so I can't check info from the backup servers. I hope this helps a bit.
