On the 2000 box, be certain that the user that smbclient uses to access the share has full-control over the files within that share. In order to avoid this problem, I us ntbackup to create an archive of all the files that I want backed-up and then only allow access to the user that amanda/smbclient uses to get to that file. And, I give that user full-control. If possible, it's best to create a separate partition formated NTFS so you can control access.
I do this on 75 2000 boxes without problems. I have an old 95 box that used to display the same error that you listed, but when I set its share to full-control, the error stopped and amanda worked just fine. I read someplace once (a long time ago) that the user that smbclient uses to access the shares has to have write/change ability in order to do incrementals. Maybe someone else (more familiar with this) can go into this more. Try the samba list too. On Thu, 2002-12-05 at 16:03, Jeffery Smith wrote: > Richard, > > Thanks for your reply.
