Ok, I am trying to use smbclient (specifically for the puroposes of tar mode) to access VSS shares on a Windows Server 2008 64bit machine. I get the name of the directory from the windows machine under 'previous versions'. I am able to access that share from multiple windows machines, even XP machines without the VSS patches loaded via "dir \ \server\[email protected]" (for example), however the exact same share gives an object-not found error. I have even gone so far as to sniff the protocol between a working machine and a non-working one, the requests are NEARLY identical, so identical I can only assume that the 'real' problem is in the SMB dialect negotiation.
I find it difficult (nay, impossible) to believe I am the only one to have tried this, especially as the vfs_shadow_copy module exists, surely someone has tried the other direction in the testing? What am I missing? (I have tried multiple smbclient versions from 3.0.old to 3.3.latest) -- David E.
