Thanks.  I had a funny feeling that that was the case - I had recently read something else that made me wonder.

Sorry to ask daft questions but that's the way to learn!!

Does your mount command translate to:

mount -t smb //mini/data/DadsLinux /mnt/backup -ousername=user%pass
where user is my username and pass is my password?

i.e. -ousername=myowusername%myownpassword


Thanks

and got the following error

smb:/mini/data/DadsLinux

smb://mini/data/DadsLinux is a folder on my NAS that I was already
logged into - I think.  If that is the reason how do I pass the U/N and
P/W to the NAS

    

rdiff-backup is a normal linux program rather than something like a kde
app, so it doesn't understand smb: http: or ftp: locations, only local
files.

Instead you will need to mount that location locally and use the local
mount point. Eg.

mount -t smb //mini/data/DadsLinux /mnt/backup -ousername=user%pass

rdiff-backup /home/edward /mnt/backup
