this is the relevant part (the "...", or rather what it expands to).

Ah, that's your problem. That "same" command line won't work with BackupPC. I
always see additional options like "-c tarmode\\ full" in the default config
files, and I'm sure they're there for a reason. I don't use smb transport, so
I can't explain the reason to you.

Seriously, remove the '-N' and try again.

Somehow I doubt that. See the message about the anonymous connection in the
"..."?

Hope that helps.

Holger
