I have found the following in the documentation:
All Windows NT based OS (NT, 2000, XP Pro), are configured by default to
share the entire C drive as C$. This is a special share used for various
administration functions, one of which is to grant access to backup
operators. All you need to do is create a new domain user, specifically
for backup. Then add the new backup user to the built in ``Backup
Operators'' group. You now have backup capability for any directory on
any computer in the domain in one easy step. This avoids using
administrator accounts and only grants permission to do exactly what you
want for the given user, i.e.: backup. Also, for additional security,
you may wish to deny the ability for this user to logon to computers in
the default domain policy.
In windows I have added a user named "backup" and have added them to the
built in "Backup Operators" group. I tried to connect using the terminal
from my linux machine and still could not. I added the backup user to
the password file using smbpasswd. I gave that user the same passwd that
I gave it when I added them as a user on the Windows box. I still cannot
connect to gandolf/C or gandolf/C$.

I have successfully backed up my localhost machine that BackupPC is
installed on so I know that it is working. I cannot connect to an XP
machine using Samba as transfer method. I have searched and searched
and cannot find what I need.
Using the following commands in a terminal su'd as backuppc the
following commands work or don't work:
*Works:*
/usr/bin/smbclient -L \\\\gandolf\\ -U backuppc
This produces a list of shares on the XP machine gandolf.
*Also Works:*
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\Eric -U backuppc
This connect ti the share Eric on the XP machine gandolf.
*But does not work (frustrated Grrrrr):*
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\C/$ -U backuppc
Gives me "NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME"
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\C\$ -U backuppc
Gives me "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"
How to fix?
Thanks,
Eric
