I have problem doing incremental backup on mount file. I'm using FC2
systems. The server mount to some files and does incremental backup
everyday. The proplem is the ctime some how got changed when backing
up, so the files endup archived even though it's not been touched. Any
idea?
Using smbmount? smb has no notion of a "ctime". The ctime is faked.
To backup windows machines, you can use smbclient, which amanda
uses when specifying a disklist entry like:
unix.with.smbclient.com //windows-srvr/some_share comp-tar
smbclient uses thearchive bit to decide for incremental
backups (and currently is limited to only level 1 incrementals).
Some people install cygwin+amanda on a PC too.
