I've included the screenshot of the config file. You say I haven't? But here is
the proof!
Why would I lie?
And I'm not an expert in "Windoze" it's why I asked the community.
And is this the best mailing list to email support questions too? If not, could
I please have the correct mailing list so I can ask my support questions.
I would just like some help and advice into why this Windows share is failing
on backup?

Hi,
I've been wanting to say this for a long time:
Which patch to BackupPC are you proposing?
Hint: you are posting to the -devel-list, so you are obviously discussing
something pertaining to the development of BackupPC.

Apparently, you aren't, else it wouldn't.

I'm not an expert on Windoze, but in this case, I don't need to be. You don't
need to test. You can't.
> How do I get SMB access to those directories?
You don't. Read this again:

Quite unambiguous.
But let's back up a step. You wrote:
> I have excluded that directory (\System Volume Information\SRM\), and I have
> included to only backup the certain directories that I want backing up.
No. You didn't. Again, the art of reading helps. From config.pl:
# For Smb, only one of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} and $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}
# can be specified per share. If both are set for a particular share, then
# $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} takes precedence and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
# is ignored.
So, you ***didn't*** exclude anything. Why your BackupFilesOnly includes
\System Volume Information\ remains a mystery (at least to me).
Regards,
Holger
