George, ntbackup runs under the SYSTEM account if it's running as a scheduled job. You'll have to tweak the rights on the samba share to include the SYSTEM account.
You can try creating a user & group named system on the Samba box, and add system to the group corresponding to the Samba share and its' *nix permissions. That might allow ntbackup to read/write to the Samba share. Has anyone already set this up using SYSTEM? Would they post the procedure for George & the rest of us? Another note: when you set up ntbackup for jobs that run on a schedule, use the UNC path to the share, NOT a mapped drive. If the user logs off, all drive mappings are disconnected. UNC paths will still be usable, if the rights are in place. Jim > -----Original Message----- > From: George H.
