It failed again this morning with the same error.
As mentioned, is there a specific timeout for smb shares maybe?
Not too sure why it keeps failing, it hasn't completed its first full backup.
Thanks,
Marc

Subject: SMB Windows share not backing up
Hi,
I have been tasked to backup a Windows share using smb.
The share is massive, its roughly about 6 - 7TB in storage space. I ran its
first full backup and it timed out after a week or so, I got the 'aborting
backup up after signal ALRM' warning in the logs, so I increased the timeout to
2 weeks. However, I am now getting the following warning in the logs:
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share audio)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share audio)
Do I need to do anything different to the config file for an smb Windows share?
I'm not sure what the error means, it fails and then immediately starts to do a
full backup again.
Any ideas, please?
