Sorry, that's not going to work. Whitespace isn't a great idea in shares, so it would be simpler if you just changed the name of the share to EAGamesD.
What *might* work is EA\040\Games\040\D, which I believe is the syntax you need to make it work in fstab; the problem, of course, is that once you move through a shell layer your share is interpreted as "EA" plus some junk on the command line. You *might* get some mileage out of "\"EA Games D\"", but again I'll point out, that spaces in shares cause all kinds of things to break. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278884 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/157022 > Michael Stowe wrote: > >> To be succinct: your problem is whitespace in the share name. > > I changed the name in the BackupPC conf file > from "EA Games D" (in double quotes) to EA\ Games\ D > (without double quotes) but I still get exactly the same error. > >>> I am running BackupPC on a CentOS-5.3 machine. >>> It works perfectly for backing up Linux folders, >>> but I have great difficulty extending it to Windows clients. >>> >>> To be precise, I have a share called "EA Games D" >>> on a machine running Windows XP Pro. >>> I can access it through Samba: >>> ------------------------------------- >>> m...@rose ~]$ sudo mount -t cifs harriet:"EA Games D" /mnt/win >>> Password: >>> [...@rose ~]$ ls /mnt/win >>> The Sims 2 >>> ------------------------------------- >>> But I do not seem able to back it up with BackupPC . >>> In my BackupPC conf file for harriet I have under Smb Settings >>> "EA Games D" >>> >>> But when I run a backup (incremental or full) >>> I get the error in /var/log/BackupPC/LOG >>> 2009-10-17 14:43:43 Got fatal error during xfer (tree connect failed: >>> NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) > > -- > Timothy Murphy > e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net > tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 > s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Come build with us!
