I tried to backup a pre-mounted share from some win2k host
in disklist I have
amanda_server_name /mnt/mounted_smb_share root-tar-fullwhen i try with amcheck, it said that everything is ok.
also i can list files on a mounted directory
but when i start the backup, and check with amstatus it say
planner: /mnt/mounted_smb_share offline?
what is the issue?


No idea.  An look at some debug files may help a lot.
See /tmp/amanda.
Have you tried running the tar commands by hand?  You can find
the complete command line amanda uses in the above debug files.

I cant install amanda under cygwin, cause server is out of my control.


The "normal" way to backup Window-shares, is using smbclient.
At least, that's what works here.  Any reason why not do it using
smbclient?
