If you don't want to back everything up on the samba share, an easy way of excluding files/directories are to just deny the backup user account access at all.  I found this works a lot better than trying to get an exclude statement working w/ SMB, but the trick only works with NTFS.

If I understand your question correctly, you are looking for smbclient; which is being called by Amanda in case of backing up an smb server (your windowsserver)
smbclient is part of the Samba suite.

In your amanda disklist you would have sth. like this :

localhost //WindowsServerName/WindowShareName server-compress

in your /etc/amandapass there would be an entry like this :

//WindowServerName/WindowsShareName domainuserwithaccess%passwordforthisuser

Windows client to use?





Hello!
 We have our amanda server running on Linux, we use large disks as  
backup medium
and it works great.. However, I am not sure which windows client to use
for our
Windows 2000 server machine.. Can anyone point me to which client I
should use?

Regards, -turgut
