Re: [Bacula-users] Trouble to backup a window network drive

There is no smbfs on solaris...
But running the Dämon as domain admin should work (as lang as the admin has the requiered priveliges on the Files)

System and Administrator are machine local accounts, they do not have access to network. It might work, if you start bacula-fd as your own domain account (or other network capable account).

You could also install Samba into your Solaris, and mount the NAS there.
