Yes, it could be (though I would expect to see a more explict failure
message from the estimate phase later on in the log file if that were
the case).
You will certainly need to connect to your Windows client using a
username which has sufficient permissions to read all files, and also to
update the "archive bit" on the backed-up files so that level 1 dumps
work as expected.
I haven't delived into the nuances of NTFS permissions and have only
gone through this on a single windows client machine, but in my
experimentation I found that setting the following permissions using
Server Manager for the particular shares in question produced a working
level-1 backup with no error messages in the log, while also at least
preventing obvious editing of the share by the backup user :
permissions (for the smbclient user) enabled:
"Read & exectue",
"List folder contents",
"Read"
Advanced Attributes enabled:
"Traverse folder/execute file",
"List folder/read data",
"Read attributes",
"Read extended attributes",
"Read permissions"
"Write attributes"
(On this particular client box, then Sharing tab already had "Full
Control" granted to Everyone, so I did not have to fine-tune the
settings there to get Amanda working.)
Hope that is at least somewhat helpful...
