I can't recommend any application because I finally moved to "tar" which I thought it was going to be the most reliable solution in the end :-), but Wikipedia has an extensible list of backup sofware that can give you some ideas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_backup_software Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

To use Areca Backup I recall that you needed a samba volume mounted locally, yes. If Nautilus is accesing the share via "smb://" the trick does not work (in fact, that's one of the reasons I stopped using Areca's solution :-) ) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Once you have check the manual mount point is nicely done and works as you want you can add the samba share to your "/ etc/fstab" so it gets mounted on every boot.
