There are two ways to back up 'doze clients. See docs/SAMBA in the amanda source tarball and discussions of the cygwin client both in the 2.4.4b1 docs and in the archives of this list. Neither is perfect. Samba definitely won't get ACLs, I *think* it can to direct restores, and it needs nothing more than a defined share on the 'doze client. The cygwin client is pretty new and thus less tested. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
