[Samba] Copying Files

2003-03-13 Thread TJ Davis

For some reason when I try to copy some files from a windows machine to a
samba share on a particular Linux server it creates the filename on the
share and then gives me the following error:

This folder already contains a file named "foo.exe"

Would you like to replace the existing file which is 0 bytes
with this one which is 13.4mb

It does not do this with all files.  I copied two different iso files that
are approximately 650mb fine several times but I have tried with exe files
and some work while some do not.

I use taper as my backup software and it works VERY well.  Free is good too.

Subject: [Samba] Backup - suggestions needed


Linux RH 7.3, Samba 2.2.7a
NT 4.0 SP6 - Backup Exec 8.5

The linux box is running the Backup Exec client for Unix
('http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/192093.htm')

Occasionally, when doing a backup the entire linux system freezes.  I have
to do a hard reboot without a shutdown, etc.
There is 40 plus gigs on the backup, so I dont think a tar and copy would be
bery efficient.

I am wondering a couple things here:

1.  Is anyone successfull with doing a backup off of linux using BE and the
BE agent for UNIX?

2.  Is there a better way to do this?  I thought I could be able to connect
to the samba share and pull it off that way, but that doesnt work...

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
