There's a number of good examples in the sample disklist that ships in the amanda tarball.

Amanda just informs you what samba flagged. For more information ask a samba specialist. While it is possible to use smbmount + gtar, I would not advice doing that. One of the problems is that each time you mount with smbmount, the modification time of each file seems changed (because smbmount has to simulate a ctime that has no meaning on a Windows machine). This results in incrementals being as large as full backups. At least it was like this last time I tried it (many years ago). -- Paul Bijnens, XplanationTel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUMFax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ...* * ...

I can backup local filesystems but when I try to backup a NFS filesystem I get errosrs. Yes, it possible, but it is not optimal. We could help a lot better if you told us which errors :-) Things to consider: - You need to use GNUTAR (and not dump) - normally "root" becomes "nobody" across nfs. As GNUTAR runs as user root, any file that has not public read access (or directory read+execute) cannot be backed up. There exist export/mount options to avoid the root-nobody conversion. -- Paul Bijnens, XplanationTel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUMFax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ...* * ...
