Can you access the share via standalone smbclient, since that's how you're
choosing to back things up? As I recall, there are some registry changes
necessary for Windows 7 but that might only be for domain membership.

shouldn't that lead to a different error? As I read the source, "no files
dumped for share" is produced for a dump where no other error was detected,
yet no files were read - perhaps due to insufficient permissions to access
any files (oh, and it's "*Got* fatal error ...", so we know it's only an
approximation of the actual error message ;-).
More context from the XferLOG would probably help in determining the actual
problem. Are there error messages which BackupPC couldn't interpret leading
up to the "no files dumped ..."? Have you tried running the exact same
command BackupPC is trying from the command line? Can you connect to the
client machine with 'smbclient' (something like
'smbclient //host/C\$ -U backup-user', if 'backup-user' is what BackupPC is
using; see the man page for details) and list the contents of the share?

Due the the frequent MS warnings about sharing the C drive I decided to merely
create a shared folder called Users. This folder is accessible from the 3
other machines on the network (XP and Vista) without difficulty. When I
attempt to do a full backup I again get the same error message. Here is the
full error from the Log:
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\larryshp\\Users -I 10.10.10.101 -U backuppc -E
-d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc -full backup started for share UsersXfer PIDs are now

Users)Backup aborted (No files dumped for share Users)Not saving this as a
partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 0 and 0 files
versus 0)The computer name and IP address are correct but the session setup
fails. Any suggestions of where to go from here? BTW thanks Tom for the rsync
instructions but since I already have 3 machines operation successfully I'd
like to try the samba approach before I "throw the baby in the sea".

Great catch! smbclient works great with XP and Vista and fails with the same
session setup error as backuppc on Windows 7. Doing some Googling this appears
to be an incompatibility between smbclient and Windows. There appears to be
some disagreement as to whether this is a bug in smbclient or an "overkill"
security-wise on Windows 7 (potentially requiring some registry editing).
Before I start experimenting I'm hoping there is someone on this list who has
encountered and solved this issue.
