If I thought samba was not going to work, then I would dump it. The fact that it works for some of my computer, plus ALL computers at one of our other offices, then I would happily move to rsync. Also, I tried rsync previously with no luck.
SMB worked almost 100% when we used backuppc 3.3.1, so I’m not sure why it should be so difficult. I’m almost at the point of blowing away this server and building a fresh one. Out of curiosity, has anyone else had a problem with samba 4.7.1? I did see one mention in a forum somewhere that there issues were resolved with samba 4.7.3. Thoughts?

What are your settings for $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}, $Conf{SmbShareName}, $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} on the two machines? Also, have you consider running rsync instead? While it requires a client-side installation, its performance is higher and the include/exclude logic is clearer and more flexible.
