[...]There are a few important things to understand here. One is that not all transport mechanisms are created equal when backing up Windows systems.what a nice way to say that :-). I'm not a Windoze expert at all, but I vaguely remember you (Michael) stating in the past that there is a difference between the default C$ share and an explicitly created share ... assuming my memory is correct, might that be the issue here? I.e. does anything change if you (Tapio) explicitly create a share and use that (or use the C$ share if you were previously using something different)?
I created a new share Users, for users home directories. I gave permissions to that share to backuppc-user. That seems to have done the trick, now the home directories are backed up including the subdirectories therein.
Seems there is a difference with the pre-existing C-share and a share I create myself.
Now only the users home directories are backed up, not other files, but home directories are the important ones. I think I will do without backing the OS-files and installed programs.
At any rate, these reasons are why I personally switched to a combination of rsync and vshadow (to handle open files) and put together a package to install the proper files on the client side.If I were in the unlucky situation of having to deal with Windoze hosts, that is what I would use. From what I have read on this list, it seems to be the best choice. Regards, Holger
