>"The samba stuff sorta-kinda works", Smile when you say that, pardner. Samba's broken handling of file modification dates leaves much to be desired. I used to backup the other machine via samba links, but now I just rsync it to local scratchpad dirs about an hour before amanda runs. Big drives are good for something. :-) Now I don't see page after page of 'file changed while we read it' messages from amanda anymore. So, I don't even call that 'sorta' working. > but having a good client that runs directly on M$ os's will > enable a lot more folks to choose amanda. On that we're in violent agreement Mitch. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.07% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
