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.
or in further detail the log is as follows
> Contents of file /ffp/backuppcdata/pc/linksys/XferLOG.bad, modified
> 2008-06-26 21:02:13
>
> Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\linksys\\shared -U craig -E -N -d 1 -c

> tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0

> Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share shared)
> Backup aborted (No files dumped for share shared)
> Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior

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.
