HI...
I tried the suggestions but nothing works I just get the information on which parameters I can use when I run the BackupPC_tarcreate so something is wrong with my command...
I tried this and all I can think of but no luck....i watn the files in the Windowshare to be sent to/piped to restore.tar
Backuppc_tarCreate -h oden -n -1 -s / windowsharename . > restore.tar
Backuppc_tarCreate -h oden -n -1 -s / windowsharename / > restore.tar
