Someone has compared this approach to installing Windows on your Unix-box to backup the files on it ... This is still one of the major disadvantages in using Samba with AMANDA. (There seem to be loads of files on a MS-box that noone wants to back up.) The main obstacle in the current way of doing things is the lack of support for multiple excludes in the smbclient-binary, that is used by AMANDA to dump Windows-shares. I have repeatedly (is that english really ...?) posted questions about this on the samba-list without replies. I will put this on my todo-list and contact one of the Samba-developers, as I am in loose contact with at least one of them. -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
