Hello, In #519402, it was reported that backups done with backuppc with the SMB backup method were failing because of a possible bug in smbclient.
Guillaume Royer mentioned that upgrading samba-common to the version from unstable (as of March 12th, it was 3.3.1-1) fixed the problem. I have a few questions: - Guillaume, I assume you not only upgraded samba-common but also smbclient, right ? - Are any of you able to try using the samba packages from lenny-proposed-updates: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny-proposed-updates contrib non-free main There is a pending change to samba packages that fixes the following: * Correct usage of 'du' command in smbclient. Closes: #514703 That's maybe unrelated but I'd like to check this. That bug will be tricky to investigate and I don't want to just mark it "fixed in unstable" and downgrade it to important without firther discussion. I'm not sure it is deserving the critical priority, though, as I think it doesn't lead to data loss, just backup failures *with notice*, which is different. --
