Non-sequitur much? The OP is talking about Tar backups and you bring in SMB backups which is an entirely different method... BTW, most if not all the SMB backup issues, btw, are Windows issues or due to incompatible or unstable versions of SMB (and the corresponding versions of smbclient) -- none of which have anything directly to do with backuppc. As a long time user of backuppc, I have found the developer (Craig) to be incredibly responsive and the code itself to be very reliable. The vast, vast majority of issues are user-configuration, user-error, or stability or access issues on the target disk or machine. Actual bugs in backuppc are extraordinarily rare and even then tend to affect rare, edge cases. Finally, this is an open source backup. If you have personal issues with SMB (or other areas) that you feel are not being addressed, you are more than welcome to contribute constructively. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
