Have you already tried accessing the client with smbclient ?

That could give you a clue

Subject	how to backup windows servers

hi, I've trying to backup a few windows 2000 servers using amanda, without success... I followed the guide on http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/amanda/docs/SAMBA, but when I run the amcheck -c xos, I get the following error: amanda@vectra:/usr/local/etc/amanda/xos$ amcheck -c xos Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: taurus: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? WARNING: falcon: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 5 hosts checked in 30.053 seconds, 2 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2) I created a local user on these 2 win2k boxes called backup. my disklist file for these 2 boxes looks like: taurus //taurus/backup high-tar falcon //FALCON/Memetrics high-tar ** I tried with with lower and upper case, on a desperate try. and my amandapass file: //taurus/backup backup@memetrics //FALCON/Memetrics backup@memetrics any hints? cheers, Fernando -- Fernando Serto Systems Administrator Memetrics Pty.
