Hi,
I think I have this solved. I appended a star to the end of the path for
includes and so far that hasn't failed (although a normal run takes ~3 days to
complete for a full backup). This explains.
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'f$' => [
'/CompSAN_Backup/Admin/Logfiles/*',
'/CompSAN_Backup/Admin/GPO/*',
'/CompSAN_Backup/Admin/Documentation/*',
'/HomeDir/*',
'/CompSAN_Backup/Admin/Backups/*'
Anyway assuming it continues to work (I can see expected files streaming via
XferLOG.z which looks promising). Hopefully this will help any others with the
same issue.
thanks,
Graham

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] smbclient phantom subdirectories
yes it's a built in windows $ share, but having read archives of people trying
creating specific new shares without using the dollar share, that doesn't
always help. This is an error that is causing the backups to fail (not restore,
I probably should have clarified that)
I have used vshadow to present a snapshot of the underlying d$ but without
the possibility of any open file locks to rule that out. I have tried with the
d$ too directly but with identical results. This generally wasn't an issue in
the past before the latest patch, it just grabbed whatever it could gain access
too. It certainly didn't cause a fail event to a full or incremental.
Permissions is one thing I'm 100% certain are ok. But currently I tried adding
a star onto the end of backup includes and interestingly it hasn't failed so
far, if that works I'll report back here in the hope it helps others.
I don't fully understand tarextract's purpose - that seems to be default in the
error log forthe last backup attempt and many others. I presume it extracts the
filenames of the resultant backup attempt on the fly for log files?
thanks,
G.

This looks like a default share... But the error is a common error from
smbclient, and yet tarExtract is involved? I'm not sure what you're
trying to convey.

Are you attempting the same thing? It's not clear at all that you are.
Or what you're attempting.

vshadow with smbclient? You'll probably want to explain this, as it is
unusual at best. There have been a few smbclient bugs that have
resulted in error symptoms, but the version number would generally rule
them out (and you haven't provided enough detail to comment further, I'm
afraid.)

From the detail you've provided so far, the most likely scenario is that
you've simply specified directories that aren't there or that permission
has not been granted to traverse.
