We have tried to do exactly the same thing this week. 

Did you manage to get a solution and if so please could you post it up.

 

Thanks

Jo

As I recall from a NetApp CIFS conference presentation, SQL Server was
deliberately prevented from working with CIFS by Microsoft. I think
the intimation was that they didn't want it being able to work with NetApp
filers. But remember "they're committed to interoperability !" :-).

[Samba] MS SQL server and samba

2005-10-08 Thread Hans du Plooy
Hi guys,

I setup a Samba box to act as a backup server (storage), for the windows 
servers to dump their backups on.   The MS SQL 2000 server won't see the 
samba box.  Windows it self does, but SQL not.  Even if I map a network path 
to a local drive, it still doesn't see it, so I cannot point the backups that 
way.

Is there any special trick to getting this to work?

Thanks
Hans
