I routinely run the Windows backup utility to create the backup file on a network drive which is really a Samba share on my Debian box. Today it doesn't work: Windows backup says "Q:\w2k.bkf" is not accessible. But at the same time, I can create, edit, save and rename a text file on the Q: drive. Backup alone thinks Q is inaccessible.
