Hi,

Sorry for not giving all the details.

I am backing up a Windows 2000 Server hidden network share using SMB.
All the backups complete without any problems but I have a problem
restoring files directly to the share.
I am able to download the restore job as a tar file but this makes
more work for me.

The error is below:
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\server01\\D\$ -I 172.16.10.1 -U
cas\\superuser -E -N -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tx -
Running: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h 172.16.10.1 -n
16 -s D\$ -t -r /Shares/Academy/Curriculum\ content/Science/Personal\
Areas/Ms\ Monteiro -p /Shares/Academy/Curriculum\
content/Science/Personal\ Areas/Ms\ Monteiro/
/Shares/Academy/Curriculum\ content/Science/Personal\ Areas/Ms\
Monteiro/Assessment.xls /Shares/Academy/Curriculum\
content/Science/Personal\ Areas/Ms\ Monteiro/Homework.xls
Xfer PIDs are now 21945,21946
restore failed:

Original file/dir
172.16.10.1:/D$/Shares/Academy/Curriculum content/Science/Personal
Areas/Ms Monteiro/Assessment.xls
172.16.10.1:/D$/Shares/Academy/Curriculum content/Science/Personal
Areas/Ms Monteiro/Homework.xls

Restored to
172.16.10.1:/D$/Shares/Academy/Curriculum content/Science/Personal
Areas/Ms Monteiro/Assessment.xls
172.16.10.1:/D$/Shares/Academy/Curriculum content/Science/Personal
Areas/Ms Monteiro/Homework.xls

Any help on trying to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
