Hi Max:
Thanks for posting the pointer. After reading thorough it, I strongly
disagree with the statement "Easiest choice for WinXX"....Easiest is a
matter of perspective, and trying to figure out XP/Win7 file protection
protocols so that it will play nice with Samba, is more than a little
challenging. Finding out the file protection mechanisms is one thing, and
then figuring out how in Windoz to modify them is another.
>From my perspective the problems I've been having could be mitigated with
stronger documentation in the BackupPC doc about how Samba and XP should be
configured.
In retrospect, what is implied in the BackupPC doc is 'if you already are
running a samba server and talking to Xp machines, then using SMB protocol
is quite easy'....
Your mileage may vary....
