Ryan,
Thanks again for your help. Sharing wasn't enabled on the C drive
so I changed that. I can now mount the C drive from my Linux box.
However, the backup still fails and the following command still
fails:
smbclient -L laptop1 -U dwilliams
Enter dwilliams's password:
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
Also, under advanced settings in Folder Options I could not find a
"Simple file sharing" option to uncheck. There is only a "Use
Sharing Wizard" which I unchecked.
So, getting closer, but still not there.

David,
Did you make sure you have File and
Printer sharing enabled on the computer (right click
on your network device and choose properties and look for File
and Printer sharing to be checked) and have the firewall open
to allow traffic (you may even want to temporarily disable it
when doing the testing you did earlier)? Also, I am guessing
the dwilliams account is not an account from part of a domain
at work? If it is, you'll need to use
username=domain\\username (note the \\). Your other option
would be to create a local admin account on your workstation
for backup and recovery. You should also right click on your
"C" drive and ensure that under the Sharing tab that the C$
share shows up. You can do a more thorough check if you go
into your Control Panel, select "Small Icons" (top left of
window), and find "Folder Options." From there, hit the
"View" tab and under "Advanced Settings," uncheck Simple file
sharing. Now go back and check for that c$ share. It would
also be a good time to see what permissions are set on it.
Those few steps should at least get
you started towards finding your solution.

Will also try another group thanks.

Ryan,
Thanks for the info. Tried what you suggested and here is
what happened.
smbclient -L laptop1 -U dwilliams
Enter dwilliams's password:
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
mount -t cifs //192.168.15.50/c$ /mnt/test/ -o
username=dwilliams
Password:
mount error(13): Permission denied
dwilliams is setup as an admin user on laptop1.
smbfs did not work and I got the following message: "smbfs is
deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.27 kernel. Please
migrate to cifs"
Perhaps this is a windows 7 security issue, not sure. I know
several years ago I was using SMB to backup an XP machine and
didn't have these issues.
I'm not familiar with rsync so would have to look into that.

David,
Being a "mobile warrior," I
believe you would be best fitted with using rsync (cwRsync
for Windows) instead of smb. You also need to keep in mind that your system will
need to transfer all files across the pipe to check their
checksum. If you are connected via wireless when you are
home, I would not suggest it, unless your drive is
practically unused.
With that said, if you still
would prefer to use smb, I would suggest doing some basic
troubleshooting from another PC (if possible) by simply
connecting to the \\laptop1 device (you will
want to connect to the c$ share). If you can connect
successfully or if you don't have another device to test,
I would suggest running the following command on your
linux box:
smbclient -L ComputerName -U
Administrator*
If the system comes back with
your open network shares, then good. If it does not, then
something is wrong and you'll need to look into the error
message it gives back. If it does work, you can try one
last thing, actually mounting the drive to your server to
ensure that works.
1. Create a folder in /mnt using
mkdir /mnt/test
2. Run this command: mount -t
cifs //IP.AddressOrHostName.Of.Computer/c$ /mnt/test/ -o
username=Administrator*
3. If that does not work,
exchange cifs for smbfs. mount -t cifs
//IP.AddressOrHostName.Of.Computer/c$ /mnt/test/ -o
username=Administrator*
You should be able to cd to
/mnt/test and do a ls -aL to see all the data in the root
of your C: on your laptop. If that works, it *should*
work assuming your credentials are correct in BackupPC's
configs.
P.S. Once you test mounting,
you'll probably want to unmount with umount /mnt/test
* [Or whatever username you want
to use to connect]

However, if that's not an option for whatever reason, the only other option

with bind [named] (assuming you are using these).
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.
