The command line you sent was:
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/backuppc_dump -v -f WinServer

Looks like I just need to get the CapitalizaTion right on BackupPC and it
should work.
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f WinServer

First test after correcting the capitalization failed with the following
errors:  

Remote[1]: rsync: link_stat "/winserver/SHARE1/." failed: No such file or
directory (2)
Remote[1]: rsync: link_stat "/winserver/SHARE2/." failed: No such file or
directory (2)

I opened config.pl and changed the share names to '/media/SHARE1' and
'/media/SHARE2'.

I reran the dump command line.  Looks like this fixed the problem as I
started getting a list of files from the first folder on SHARE1.

I aborted the dump command and ran BackupPC to request a full backup.  Job
started and is running as I type.

That only leaves one issue:  I can't log into the web GUI from the Windows
server.  I have ssl setup and can get the default web page with
https://Archiver/  but https://Archiver/BackupPC/ gets a 403 screen - Not
Authorized .  This is the same line that I use on Archiver to pull up the
BackupPC GUI.  -- ken

That means that you are not finding the backuppc command... you will
need to work out where backuppc commands are installed. Try:
locate backuppc_dump
or
locate BackupPC_dump
(I think locate is case-insensitive)
You might also try something like:
rpm -ql backuppc | grep -i dump
See "man rpm" to find out how to get a list of files installed by a
package.. -q should be query). Mind you, it is a very long time since I
used rpm, so my command line might be wrong.
If all else fails, this will work:
find / |grep -i backuppc_dump

When you eventually find the correct command to execute, you can then
(as the backuppc user) run the command as follows:
BackupPC_dump -v -f hostname
You do not specify the sharename, or put any \ or / on the command line.
You specify the hostname, and backuppc will work out the shares from
your config files.

Also, hostnames should always be stored in your backuppc configs as
lower case, and probably used as lower case. (This is just my
suggestions, whether it makes a difference or not I do not know).
Technically, hostnames should be case in-sensitive, but using all lower
case everywhere should help rule it out as a problem.

So, find out where the backuppc commands are installed, run it with just
the hostname after the -v -f, and then send us the results.

Adam
