Hi I have an elderly machine which has been successfully running backuppc, mainly with linux clients but including use of smb to backup Windows hosts. I recently upgraded from squeeze to wheezy and found that backuppc no longer worked correctly with smbclient: the backup terminates with no warning or error messages after copying the first few directories from a Windows C$ share; in particular it copies none of the User directories. Googling convinced me there was a problem with the 3.6 series of smbclient when used with backuppc, and I upgraded from wheezy to jessie to get the latest version of everything.
I still have the same problem. I'm now running smbclient 4.1.7 and backuppc 3.3.0-2. The bug description in reports like: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc/+bug/1381494 still seem to describe my symptoms. The suggestion in that particular bug report is to downgrade smbclient to 3.5, which I'm reluctant to do as I'm using debian to minimize my maintenance, and don't actually know how to run old versions of software without creating a maze of dependency problems... Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution other than going back to really old software versions?
