SUPER! My Linux boxes are backing up. All you guys are awesome. Now, at the risk of making a mistake and causing a problem with a perfectly good configuration, I have one small problem remaining that I THINK needs to have a wee bit of SAMBA configuration. I've added a new Windows (Virtual Box) server running on RHEL 7 platform. That is giving me a no ping (host not found) Message in the Backuppc Configuration Editor. Xfer: SMB I've compared it to an existing Windows box on the network and it's setup identical as far as I can tell. Also have looked at some configuration suggestions from the mail list. Other than adding a registry key, which I'm not willing, but able, to do, I can't find an overall consensus on A simple Windows/via SAMBA/ via BACKUPPC/ configuration. Also haven't found any specific SAMBA Details to try. FYI, All servers were previously setup and working by a prior admin, this single server is one I've added to the Schedule.

Presumably, root cannot login with password authentication. Of course, root will need to be able to login with public key authentication for backups to work.
