No, not nice. I backup a W***ws server over smb nightly, which works well, but on the linux machine I use fusesmb. I also use the rsync option '-av --no-p'. I do the copy as root in a crontab, but I'm pretty sure it mounts as the user that invokes it, so this might be the alternative you're looking for? Hopefully it behaves as well with your NAS. I remember it being a bit of a pain to get working as I glossed over the documentation a bit quickly so below are two snippets to hopefully save you some time (naturally it needs the fuse kernel module, and fusesmb which is in apt.): ------------------------------------------------------------- $ mkdir ~/.smb/ $ cat <<End > ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf ; Global settings [global] ; Default username and password username= password= ; List hidden shares ;showhiddenshares=true ; Connection timeout in seconds timeout = 10 ;Interval for updating new shares in minutes ;You may want to set this lower - if you are adding/removing shares a lot. interval = 10 ; Share-specific settings [WORKGROUOP/MACHINE/SHARE] username=user password=userpassword End ------------------------------------------------------------- $ chmod 0600 ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf $ mkdir ~/net $ fusesmb ~/net ------------------------------------------------------------- Hope this helps.
