AMANDA kind of understands SMB already: you can specify a server and share to back up on a regular *nix client with //server/share as the mountpoint. There are other steps needed, but that's the start.
You could smbmount, but there may be issues. Search the mailing list archive. As for Cygwin, some are using it, I'm trying to get it working, but haven't had much time lately. getfsent.c is the sticking point, needs to be edited to work in Cygwin. (Sorry I don't have anything that could be diff'ed yet.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric Bergeron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 2:20 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: amanda and windows > > > My question is what is the prefered way to backup a win2k > computer with > amanda? > > I searched the FAQ-O-Matic and this mailing list's archives > with no luck. > > Is the prefered method to smbmount C:\ and then tar what you > want or do > you install cgywin and amanda on the win2k computer and > configure amanda > as normal? > > If this is a RTFM please point me to the right document. > Thank you for the help and time. > -- > Eric >
