Gday List,
Im trying to use rdiff-backup to backup up a windows share.
Im using Debian 4.0 ( Etch ), rdiff-backup 1.1.9-2 Windows Server 2003.
I have mounted the windows share in /mnt/win_share/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
I have tried mount and smbmount.
My current mount command:
mount -t smbfs -o
username=<uname>%<password>,uid=<my_uid>,gid=<my_gid>,rw \
//COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME /mnt/ /mnt/win_backup/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
The share mounts fine...
I can then use rsync:
rsync -av /mnt/win_share/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
/mnt/win_backup/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
That is successful...
However when I try:
rdiff-backup /mnt/win_share/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
/mnt/win_backup/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME
It fails...
Exception '[Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/mnt/win_mounts/COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME/data/aux'' raised of class
'exceptions.OSError':
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line
298, in error_check_Main
try: Main(arglist)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line
318, in Main
take_action(rps)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line
274, in take_action
Looking for clues, I want to avoid having to install ssh/rsync on the
windows box.
Thank you
Rick
