Would that this were true. Alas, Amanda knows nothing about MS's Backup functionality, and it needs Administrator: http://archiv.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/2001/0010/data/docs/SAMBA "Samba does not use Windows' Backup API, so configuring the Amanda backup user as a member of group backup, in the Windows host, is useless. You will probably have to configure it as an Administrator, and make sure that it can read and change permission of *all* files in the share." > Well, I seem to remember you saying something about being bored.....8-) Today is being plenty exciting, what with one thing and another. This is not a kind day to network interfaces or backup systems. Adam
