Re: [BackupPC-users] smbclient gets NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

By default, I think that smbclient uses SMB1 on most systems, and it's definitely disabled by default on Windows. You can force it to use SMB2+, but I'm not sure what version of smbclient has it enabled. On Sat, Aug 31, 2019, 6:12 AM Benjamin Toll wrote: > On 08/29/2019 16:28, Bob McClure Jr wr

All, Thanks for the suggestions and links. There's a lot of interesting reading to be done. But as noted, checksum matching and storage latency are probably prohibitive. I hope to have access to a colo with gigabit bandwidth in the near future. Maybe I'll spin up an instance just to see how it
