Re: [BackupPC-users] backuppc broken for backing up windows with samba
2009-02-20 19:01:22
Thanks for the suggestion. I made a share "cdrive" and adjusted the config appropriately, however the same error still occurs.
I would prefer samba because it requires no special configuration or software installation on the clients, which is a nice plus.
I may end up looking at SFU though...

I dont use smbclient myself, so this is just a WAG. Have you tried
creating actual "shares" instead of using the builtin drive share (ie
'drive_c' instead of 'c$'). The only funky thing I can think of that
might be happening is the $ in the share name is causing some strange
interpolation when the config runs. Just a thought.
Otherwise, you may want to look at switching over to rsync. I see
your backing up outlook files and I not sure if smbclient handles open
files. Search the archive and you'll find a reference to a recipe
using rsync and shadow file services which will allow open files to be
backed up in a crash consistent state (they were still open when the
backup starts, but at least they aren't changing as your backing up).
