For years I have been backing up a Windows 7 (2007) system, using smb, with
nothing more than $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = '////Users'; in the client pc
config file. This still works just fine. I set up another Windows 7 client
(2009), and when I used the same $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = '////Users'; under
smb, the server got caught in the first junction point and descended into an
infinite loop, or black hole.
I decided that I didn't have the knowledge to figure out this problem, so I
decided to avoid all junctions by using the long list of excludes that are
listed at University of Maryland web site
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~cdunne/projs/backuppc_guide.html. The only change I made
was to prepend all specified junctions with '////' in lieu of just one '/'. I
made that change when there was no improvement in avoiding junctions under smb.
The U of M site applied to rsync backups only. Unfortunately, adding the
slashes changed nothing.
This is a chunk of my Xferlog as it finally hits the first junction,
Application Data, under Default folder. The U of M exclusions for "Application
Data" appear to provide full coverage for excluding that junction. If no one in
this group has had success in smb back up of Windows 7 (2009) using junction
exclusions, I'll have to consider backuppc over smb defunct for my Windows
clients going forward.
