Since this is a dual boot system, you cannot use smbclient to access the NTFS disk, because Windows (the "SMB server" in this case) is not running. So you will have to have the filesystems mounted when AMANDA runs. Assuming C: is mounted under /dos/c, D: under /dos/d and so on, here is the disklist entries you will need: yourhostname /dos/c user-tar-local 3 local yourhostname /dos/d user-tar-local 3 local ... You should *NOT* use the SAMBA way: yourhostname //yourhostname/c user-tar-local 3 local yourhostname //yourhostname/d user-tar-local 3 local for the above obvious reason. Unless you start also a SAMBA server on yourhostname, configuring c and d to be the directories /dos/c and /dos/d respectively. But this way should be slower than the first one that uses the mounted filesystems directly and not through a SAMBA server. That's all. -- Regards Chris Karakas http://www.karakas-online.de
