Hi list,

we continuously get "Connection reset by peer" if we try to backup a few GB from a w2k3 guest on VirtualBox. Tests show that a similar OS on KVM works well: we assume virtualbox is the culprit. We tried different virtual network adapters, playing with BareOS buffers and bandwidth. No success.

We cannot migrate now, so the idea is:

- cifs-mount in autofs a couiple of shares from the w2k3 guest on the hypervisor over local host-only network
- put symlinks to the autofs mountpoints
- point bareos to the symlinks for the backup.

Now, bareos only backups the symlinks, and not the files on the mounted share. We also tried /path/to/symlink/*. This results in no such file or dir.

Since the above did not work, we tried pointing bareos to the mountpoints itself. This does work.

Now I expect to have files, but no windows metadata such as permissions. I also expect not to be able to restore to windows, but only via the linux cifs mounts.

Is there a way to make this work according to y'all, or should we leave this idea right away ? Any other comments on this? Any experience with w2k3, virtualbox and bareos backups ?

Thanks,
Arjen Van Drie.
