SUPER!

My Linux boxes are backing up.
All you guys are awesome.
Now, at the risk of making a mistake and causing a problem with a perfectly 
good configuration,
I have one small problem remaining that I THINK needs to have a wee bit of 
SAMBA configuration.
I've added a new Windows (Virtual Box) server running on RHEL 7 platform. That 
is giving me a no ping (host not found)
Message in the Backuppc Configuration Editor.
 Xfer: SMB
I've compared it to an existing Windows box on the network and it's setup 
identical as far as I can tell.
Also have looked at some configuration suggestions from the mail list. 
Other than adding a registry key, which I'm not willing, but able, to do, I 
can't find an overall consensus on 
A simple Windows/via SAMBA/ via BACKUPPC/ configuration. Also haven't found any 
specific SAMBA 
Details to try.
FYI, All servers were previously setup and working by a prior admin, this 
single server is one I've added to the 
Schedule. 

Terry

yes, but, as you can see, the transfer was done with a different remote user.
Presumably, root cannot login with password authentication. Of course, root 
will need to be able to login with public key authentication for backups to 
work.

Holger
