Yes, and let me toss in my thoughts re using samba/cifs. 1. Unless the NTFS supports the time stamps that unix does, amanda's concept of an incremental is a level 0 because it cannot tell from the times reported over the samba link if it backed up that file last night or not, so it does a fresh backup everynight of such stuff. 2. Because not all perms are properly reported by the samba/cifs link, perms on the restored files may, and probably will, be fubar'd somewhere along the line. For those 2 reasons, I would much prefer the win32 client, which can *probably* handle those two cases more accurately than the cifs/samba linkage can. However, like most on this list, I have little knowledge of the win32 client, never having seen it. So I'll certainly defer to someone who does have it working. Please speak up, whoever you are! -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
