This program is hands down the slickest thing I have seen in a long
time. I have been using it at home for a couple of months, and now I
am trying to convince my work place that this is the way to go for our
backup needs. I have run into one little snag that I cant seem to
figure out for myself though.
I am trying to backup an NFS share from my Windows 2003 server to my
Ubuntu Linux server. (the samba seems to work fine, but I was
wondering if it would be a better approach to use this instead - I am
not sure if there are any reasons to avoid this approach so if you
have any suggestions about avoiding it I would also like to know that
=) ). So I have the NFS share set up, I can mount it no problem, and
it is part of the Linux file system /mnt/MFS/corp - I can access it
with any user of my Linux system - all users that is except the
backuppc user & root. I specifically have root locked out, but
backuppc should be able to get to this read-only share - I think it
may be because the backuppc user is some kind of special web user (not
a full normal user of the Linux system). Is there any way to make this
user a normal user of the Linux system? This would allow for me to be
able to log into the Linux server as the user backuppc - rather than
having to do every thing with su backuppc? And if it is a normal user,
I think the user mapping should work for the NFS share - where right
now it is failing.
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this matter and thanks again
for such a wonderful program.
