I have BackupPC set up to backup my Fedora F10 box and my wife's Vista
box to an external USB drive. I had everything working and then some
time ago the backups stopped working for the Vista box and I'm just
getting around to looking into it.

The error log shows:

Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\user-pc\\C\$ -U User -E -N -d 1 -c
tarmode\ full -TcrX - <list of excluded files>
full backup started for share C$
Xfer PIDs are now 9222,9221 
tar_re_search set 
Anonymous login successful
[ skipped 1 lines ] 
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
....

So there is the problem...I think. The -N on the cmd line says (from
the smbclient man page) 

"If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a service
that does not require a password."

so its logging in anonymously but I need to use a password so that User
has sufficient privileges on the Vista box to execute the command. The
password is correctly set in the SmbSharePasswd variable.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,
Steve
