Re: [flexbackup-help] Backup to a remote directory?

[TeckniX]

What's the format of your external directory?
How is windows seeing that directory?

 In an attempt to make my backups more efficient I am hoping to get

 to send its data to a directory on my Linux box that is not suitable
 for exporting with samba.

 I note that flexbackup can handle situations where the tape drive is
 remote, but can it do the same when the backup is to a directory?

Quoting TeckniX loki...@gmail.com:

ext3

 How is windows seeing that directory?

It's capable of seeing it over samba but because it's removable, this  
is not very suitable. I was actually hoping it could be accessed in  
the manner of sshfs. It is important that the Windows box releases the  
directory soon after stopping using it, without user intervention.
