All you need on the NT box is a share. If the NT box is within a domain, limit the access of the share to the domain user that samba will use to mount the share. That user will need to have admin privs in the domain.
Once you have the share setup, run "smbcliennt //PC-NAME/SHARE -U Username" from the amanda server. This should ask you for the passwd. Enter it, and then do dir and you will see the share's directory listing. Add the user name and passwd to /etc/amandapass like this: //PC-NAME/SHARE user%pass Then add the NT box to your disklist like this: amanda_server_name //PC-NAME/SHARE global Then run su amanda -c "amcheck cofig_name" And that's it On Thu, 2002-04-11 at 10:33, David Flood wrote: > Could someone possiblly give me a bullet list of things you have to > do to get a backup of an NT box working. > > I've read docs/SAMBA and it says that the amanda client software > and patched samba most be installed on the host 'pcserver'.
