Hi there ! 
 
        I am having trouble to setup amanda to backup shares from a 
Windows 2000 server. I am not sure this is possible, (I suspect is 
not), so I am writing to get a confirmation that this is impossible 
and ask for suggestions to backup the windows 2000 shares. 
 
        The PDC is a windows 2000 machine. it's NetBIOS name is 
kgbserver. The shares that I want to backup are named 
"//kgbserver/Others" and "//kgbserver/Docs". 
 
        The amanda server is a RH9.0, with samba configured as 
security=DOMAIN . The samba NetBIOS name is KGBSERVER2.  

        This is why I think this could be a problem. The samba 
server is not the PDC for that domain. It is just a client for that 
domain. This makes any sense ?
 
        In the disklist file I put the following lines for the 
shares I want to backup: 
 
kgbserver2      //kgbserver/Others      nocomp-user-gnutar 
kgbserver2      //kgbserver/Docs     nocomp-user-gnutar 
 
        The file /etc/amandapass was configured with the 
Administrator and password for the Windows machine: 
 
//kgbserver/Others      administrator%ajjj882 KGB 
//kgbserver/Docs        administrator%ajjj882 KGB 
 
 
        On the amanda server (RH9.0) I can browse the Windows 2000's 
shares with smbclient, for example: 
 
# smbclient -L //kgbserver -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB 
added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255 
nmask=255.255.255.0 
Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 
 
        Sharename      Type      Comment 
        ---------      ----      ------- 

...etc... and browsing a specific share: 
 
# smbclient  //kgbserver/Others -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB 
added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255 
nmask=255.255.255.0 
Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 
smb: \> ls 
  .                                   D        0  Fri Jun 25 14:46:26 2004

  ENVELOPES                           D        0  Thu Feb 28 15:02:23 2002 

...etc.... 
 
     ...and even smbtar work fine: 
 
# cd /tmp 
# smbtar -s kgbserver -u administrator%ajjj882 -x Others -t 
others.tar 
# tar -tvf others.tar 
...etc... 
 
     ...and amcheck works fine too: 
 
# /bin/su - amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck -c DialySet1" 
 
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check 
-------------------------------- 
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 10.682 seconds, 0 problems found 
 
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3) 
 
 
        The amdump fail with the following message: 
 
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: 
  planner: ERROR Request to kgbserver2 timed out. 
 
        .... and from DUMP summary:

-------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------ 
kgbserver2   -ver/Others   MISSING -------------------------------------- 
kgbserver2   -erver/Docs   MISSING -------------------------------------- 
 
        Is this setup really impossible ? 
        As last resort, I configured Amanda to backup the mount 
point "/mnt/kgbserver/Others" and "/mnt/kgbserver/Docs" from the 
machine kgbserver2. 

 These mount points are mounted at boot time via /etc/fstab using 
smbfs. 
 
        Is there another better solution ? 
 
        I will appreciated any ideas and comments. 
 
        thank you gurus in advance, 
 
Amanda server: RH9.0, running 2.4.20-30.9. 
amanda version: 2.4.3-4 (from the rpm package) 
samba version: 2.2.7a release 8.9.0 (from the rpm package)
