Thanks much Paul, Your English is quit good and eventually I successfully run the amcheck on the window box :)
Yet, I was not able to back up a shared folder on a window box. Is it possible to backup a shared folder instead of a full drive like: //machine_name/shared_folder instead of //machine_name/c$ and if so what is the syntax?

I know my english is not very good (actually it is "quiet" bad, as I used to say), but when I follow my example the command becomes: smbclient '//machine_name/c$' -U user%passwd -W mydomain Note: - there is no mention of /etc/amandapass, that's is the file where amanda gets the information to fill in here - there are single quotes around the sharename, otherwise the dollar-sign would give trouble in the shell - there is a "-U" string before the user and the "-W" string before the domain; I hope you do understand the basic conventions used in unix command line program to give options. - if the password contains any special characters for the shell, then you need quotes around here too. > > Thanks much, > gil > > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Bijnens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 3:56 AM > To: Gil Naveh > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: a problembacking up a window machine > > > Gil Naveh wrote: > >>Does it means that I have not configured Samba currectly? >>Any examples on how to test Samba are mostly welcome > > > In /etc/amandapass you find lines like: > > Hostname+share username%Password DOMAIN > =============== ================= ========= > //homeros/d$ amanda%secret MYDOMAIN > > > This implies that you have a you have a MS-Windows PC > named "homeros", which is part of the domain "MYDOMAIN", > and you have created a domainaccount with administrative > priviledges named "amanda", wich password "secret". > > To test this with smbclient, do: > > smbclient '//homeros/d$' -U 'amanda%secret' -W MYDOMAIN > > And you should get the "smb: >"-prompt, and type e.g. "dir" > to list the files. > > If you add on each PC a local user instead of the domain user, > then you should not add the MYDOMAIN value to /etc/amandapass, > and test without the "-W MYDOMAIN" option for smbclient, of course. > -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
