Hi All,

I recently purchased a Dlink DNS-323 which is a network storage device and have 
installed Backuppc on it as I had seen it should work on the guide listed below
http://wiki.dns323.info/howto:backuppc

I have installed it pretty much as it is in the guide but instead of using 
rsync I am wanting to use SMB. I realise the benefits of RSYNC and I may 
convert to that later but for the moment at least do not want to have to 
install something on all my PC's, file server etc.

On the DNS-323 it does not have the nmblookup executable however I can get it 
to see my PCs or so it seems as I am getting successful pings. The way I have 
done this is my listing my PC's in the /etc/hosts file.

When I attempt to backup a share from any of my PC's which run a variety of 
Windows XP, Vista and a file server running Debian Etch (Linksys Nslu2) it says 
backup in progress for a couple of seconds and then gives the following error

This PC is used by root. 
Last status is state "idle" (backup failed) as of 6/26 21:02. 
Last error is "No files dumped for share shared". 
Pings to linksys have succeeded 1 consecutive times. 



Any advice on how to locate the possible causes for this error would be 
appreciated. Thanks. I have searched google and the forums but can't find much 
which seems to relate to my problem or using smb shares.
