The XP machine is messed up. It is XP pro but I do not have a "Folder Options" in my control panel or in Windows Explorer in order to turn off simple file sharing. I confirmed that the current user was a member of the Administrator group. What I did is go in and create a new Admin user and that new user had the Folder Options. I used the new Admin user to turn off simple file sharing and then deleted the C$ share. I then rebooted and the C$ share gets reestablished either on a reboot or a start/restart of "server" in services.
After I did all this I could connect to the C$ share. This is not a BackupPC or Samba issue. Last night I did a full backup of C$ and this morning I saw that it took over 600 minutes to get over 30 GB backed up. I did notice that there was no compression of files even though compression was set to default 3. This may be a misunderstanding on my part of how BackupPC works (maybe compression only works using tar or rsync, I don't know). I will play with that for a while to gain an understanding before posting here. I will be chasing the C$ share/Folder Options issue on a Windows forum somewhere. Thanks for all your help! BackupPC is awesome! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Goryachev Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 8:39 PM To: Backuppc-Users (E-mail) Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems getting Samba connection to work - XP Eric Snyder wrote: > Yes, I created a user called "backup" and they are a member of the > backup operators group.

Again, If I change the command from > "/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\C$ -U backup" to "/usr/bin/smbclient > \\\\gandolf\\Eric -U backup" it connects to the Eric folder just fine. Just a thought, have you tried: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\C\$ -U backup Regards, Adam -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers Ph: +61 2 8304 0000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: +61 2 8304 0001 www.websitemanagers.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
