Did you --with-smbclient when you built AMANDA? Here's the batch file I used for building Amanda on my server, which does work with SAMBA:
#!/bin/bash ./configure \ --with-user=amanda \ --with-group=disk \ --with-config=MYCONFIG \ --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \ --with-changer-device=/dev/sch0 \ --exec-prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/ \ --with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient \ --with-gnutar=/bin/tar \ --with-samba-user=username \ --with-gnutar-listdir=/amanda/Krakow1/gnutar-list make make install I think the --with-smbclient and --with-samba-user options will be most helpful. > -----Original Message----- > From: David Flood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 10:04 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: NT share basckup > > > I've set up a share on my NT box. > > I can do: > > 'smbclient //PC-NAME/SHARE -U username' > > after entering the password I can see the contents of the share. > > So I set up this share to be backed up by amanda.
