I have fooled around with linux somewhat but I am still very much a newbie so it is very possible that I am just doing something simple wrong. I am having trouble trying to backup a RH7.1 file server. I am trying to make an archive backup of files using cp -a and I am running samba and trying to backup files to a w2k server on the network. I have successfully mounted the w2k server using the command mount -t smbfs /backup. The problem I have is that when using cp -a the seconds of the timestamp is sometimes different on the w2k computer then on the RH server. The seconds of the timestamp seems to round down to an even number of seconds. I have repeated this problem on a RH8.0 server copying to a WinXP Pro computer so it doesn't appear to be a problem that a newer version of samba (the RH7.1 computer has samba 2.2.2 on it) would fix. I have searched the web for this and haven't been able to see a! nything so I suspect I am just doing something weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Don Wilson
