I'm forwarding the questions to the list (It was a permission problem). ----- Forwarded message from Gary Vassalotti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Hi Tino,
That did get me up and running.... if I may bother you for a couple more questions, when I start the configuration page in the web browser it won't let me save any changes. I figure i have another permission setting wrong in the directory /etc/backuppc. I have tried changing the owner to apache (the web server, of course), but I still can not save changes. Also, is it possible to only backup certain files / directories on samba shares instead of the whole shared drive?

Check the permissions of /drive2 and /drive2/backups - /drive2 should probably have permissions 755 like this: > ls -ld /drive2 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 232 2008-09-01 19:25 /drive2 -> The important thing ist the last "r-x" which allows any user to enter the directory. If the permissions are drwxr-x---, only root and members of root group may enter this directory (and any below). The same applies for /drive2/backups (or whatever it's called exactly for you).
