RE: Backup of NT share

2001-10-09 Thread George Kearns
Michael, This first thing I would do is double-check the permissions on your NT box.. make sure that the computer is actually sharing the folder you wish to backup, and that your backup server is allowed to "see" it. A good test of this would be to try to connect to that share using smbclient.. i

run last Friday. Since then i've been trying, with your help, to figure out why it was not complete. I am not cleaning out everything between tests. I don't know how to do that or what that means. I know that that sendbackup*debug is my only one and is from the "successful" run, because of its file date. I was trying to get Amanda working before moving on but i don't need to. Let's drop it. thx anyway. george
