AFAIK, samba doesn't support those times. So you will, if samba is the transport from client to server, get a full backup of everything everytime. Or at least thats been my experience with the samba 2.x family, and I have not yet installed 3.0, based on the if it ain't broke, don't fix it theory. To me, what I use samba for isn't broke. But I sure don't let it get in an amanda path, for exactly that reason. But thats an interesting linkage, doing it all on the same machine. IF I understand correctly. However, just exporting the filesystem with samba should not affect a properly installed amanda. me goes off scratching head to fix breakfast...
