I have a question that I am sure has been asked MANY a time on here, but I am trying to back up a Windows system without using Cygwin1.dll which is what the RSYNCD and RSYNC methods use. I was exploring SAMBA (SMB). The computers in question are a member of a Domain, and I am typing in TSAV\username and password and using a user with Domain Admin privileges. I also put the FQDN and Simple Domain name in the field ClientNameAlias

My question is this: Why can I back up C$\ which backs up all of the C drive, but can not back up ONLY C$\Documents and Settings\ which is all I want to back up? Am I following the right instructions to make SMB work?

Thanks,

~Ben
