Since upgrading from 2.2.8a to 3.0.4, there is something strange in using the Backup utility. It seems to function fine when using drive letters on the local machine, but indicates NO access to the network drive letters attached to samba shares using the W2k net use command. Access outside Backup is just peachie keeno to these same drives.
Interesting to note that when you select file browse, it indicates the same if you use UNC directories. The current workaround I have found is to NOT use the file browse in the backup utility, and proceed directly to manual specification of the filename in the form \\server\share\filename.ext (i.e. the UNC format). Any specification to X:\filename.ext where X is successfully mapped to \\server\share fails. Happens to shares whether contained in the Samba PDC or on other Samba server domain members' shares. Anybody got a clue here as to how to return this functionality to windows backup. ========================================== M. D.
