That's what I do at my office. However, I use dnsmasq at home, which
provides both DNS and DHCP. It automatically integrates them, so when
you supply your hostname with the DHCP request (as most clients do), it
gets added to the local DNS domain automatically.

Also, consider Bonjour/Avahi. Then you can use "hostname.local" as your
name/alias and it will work. Ubuntu and Macs will support this out of
the box. On Windows it's easy to install.

All,

I have now gotten to the point whereby the backup is at least starting. It is also stopping very quickly with the following errors:

full backup started for share \\laptop1
Xfer PIDs are now 28877,28876
Exec failed for 
tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share \\laptop1)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share \\laptop1)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 0 and 0 files versus 0)

I suspect that I don't have some of the smb parameters setup correctly. I have done the following:

XferMethod = smb
SmbShareName = \\laptop1 (have also tried C$)
SmbShareUserName and SmbSharePasswd have both been set.
BackupFilesOnly = \users\dwilliams

How can I troubleshoot this issue further? Are there any command line commands that I can use to ensure I can connect to laptop1 via smb? I have Windows7 64-bit on the laptop.

Any additional help will be much appreciated.
