There are a few important things to understand here.  One is that not
all transport mechanisms are created equal when backing up Windows
systems.


what a nice way to say that :-).

I'm not a Windoze expert at all, but I vaguely remember you (Michael) stating
in the past that there is a difference between the default C$ share and an
explicitly created share ... assuming my memory is correct, might that be
the issue here? I.e. does anything change if you (Tapio) explicitly create
a share and use that (or use the C$ share if you were previously using
something different)?

I created a new share Users, for users home directories. I gavepermissions to that share to backuppc-user. That seems to have done thetrick, now the home directories are backed up including thesubdirectories therein.

Seems there is a difference with the pre-existing C-share and a share Icreate myself.

Now only the users home directories are backed up, not other files, buthome directories are the important ones. I think I will do withoutbacking the OS-files and installed programs.

At any rate, these reasons are why I personally switched to a
combination of rsync and vshadow (to handle open files) and put together
a package to install the proper files on the client side.


If I were in the unlucky situation of having to deal with Windoze hosts,
that is what I would use. From what I have read on this list, it seems
to be the best choice.

Regards,
Holger
