Here's one of my DLEs for example: nucleus.mr.lfmg.de//amplicon/backup$ SMB_Low_Client-Fast Explanation: Nucleus does the connect to my client Amplicon and collect the data. The machine must not be the backupserver itself. E. g. if you have a remote subnet, connected with a slow connection, you can configure a remote linux machine to collect and compact your data and then transfer it from there to your backup server to save bandwidth. It's wasting bandwidth of the WAN connection to transfer the whole samba data to your backup server and do the compact there. Surely you can do this in your local subnet too, to keep the load of your backupserver low. It can't be the backup server itself or shouldn't? I was following the 15 minute setup example on zmanda.com and it used the backup server itself. Isn't that the point of having --with-smbclient in the compile script? It doesn't really matter how loaded down the backup server is, as long as the computers with the shares I am backing up don't experience a huge load. Out of curiosity I've changed it to the backup server itself: ministryofinformation //coralie/design_resources_archive/ tar-comp-srvbest-ne but now on the target computer I see no connection attempts at all via tcpdump. These computers are all on the same subnet and are qualified addresses of an internal domain (although it's FQDN would be ministryofinformation.thezoo). --- Dan Brown
