Just did a quick look at my configs, and it appears your slashes are the
wrong direction. Took me quite a while to get all the syntax things
worked out on Windows shares too. If that doesn't fix it, I would
recommend doing a hidden share for each directory you want to backup
(with a $, like 'document$' or 'gareth$'). For extra security, go into
the permissions section on the sharing tab, and set it so only one
person can access that share.
Hope that helps.

Guys,
I've just set up Backkup PC on an Ubuntu 5.10 server config, using apt-get
install. Thus I didn't have to run configure.pl
I'm using smb (it's a home network - so not so worried about the security here. It needs to be functional - and some of the PC's don't really have capacity to run any more services).
I can get backup pc to sucessfully back up other directries, but not Documents
and settings. I'm using a user 'backuppc' who is a memeber of the Backup
operators group.
I'm getting the following error message:
Getting files newer than Tue Jan 3 09:56:19 2006
Domain=[MERLIN] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, verbose
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID listing \Documents?and?Settings\gareth
Yet if I connect using the smbcliet comand line using the same user, I can then
list all the gareth directory.
My config for merlin looks like this:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = ['D$','O$'];
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = '****';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '****';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = { 'D$' => ['/Documents?and?Settings/gareth',
'/Shared_Stuff'],
'O$' => ['/Diving','/gym_ani'] };
BTW, it's in /etc/backuppc rather than in the local PC config directory. Does
this matter - I modified the local backup config file to get thi.
I suspect that there is a really easy answer to this - but I've been banging my
head against this for a couple of hours and can't see the answer at all.
