Samba server is a different box than Backuppc.
So, I can ping the backuppc server from the server I need backed up and visa
versa.
File and Print sharing is enabled on the Windows server needing to be backed up.
What's confusing me is I can look at the configuration of an existing Windows
server and don't
see ANY of the details many of the articles I'm looking at are telling me.
For instance:
No backuppc user is created.
Volume Shadow Copy service isn't running
No LMHOSTS file in the Windows directory
Yet, this server backs up on a daily basis.
The BackupPC server is currently backing up 6 Linux boxes, and 6 Windows boxes.
The Samba server is functioning as is.
The trouble I'm having is determining what fraction of the steps I need to
simply add 1 Windows
Server to the existing configuration.
All BackupPC configurations on the new server are identical to existing
serrvers.
Just get the no ping (no ping response) when starting a backup.

You aren't actually using the samba _server_. You are using the windows file
share service and the linux samba client, smbclient (or
smbtar which is basically the same). There is really only one quirk
that connects them and it is rare for it to cause a problem - and that is that
smbclient does read the smb.conf config file that you might have configured
with some custom values if you have a samba server running on the same machine
as backuppc.
