This tells Amanda to connect to vedder (via normal Amanda amandad)
and vedder will run smbclient to //ozzy/mydata.
In other words, the Amanda client (first column) is **always** a Unix box.
The "disk", in the case of Samba, is the share name that will be accessed
from the Amanda client, and thus it contains the PC host name.
