I'm going to do a Q&D backup of my Linux server at work by making a tar
file and then copying it to a M$ server under my control that is backed
up nightly by IT. I've shared the directory on M$ that I want to be the
target \\wrapp14\oz_backup. Now I need to know what to do from the Linux
server (oz). cp and mount don't seem to work. Is there some kind of
reverse samba?
mount -t smbfs ultimately calls smbmount, which uses smbclient to talk SMB
to Windows. The culprit in this is usually authentication, including
properly identifying yourself to the Windows machine.
I can't get this to work. It asks for a password, and I can't find one
it likes.
Yes, this authentication is where it gets nasty, depending on the
facilities your Windows setup is using. If it's using ActiveDirectory,
I'll drop out now, coz I've never used it for authentication.
If you're using domains, remember to prefix your userid with your domain
(then a slash, I forget which way it has to lean, but knowing Windows,
prolly backwards)
