I am trying to backup a Windows XP Pro machine
with BackupPC running on a Fedora-11 machine.
Let me say at once that I know very little
about Windows XP;
the machine I want to backup belongs to a relative
who does not run Linux.
The problem seems to lie with reading permission
on my Windows client.
Thus I can
sudo mount -t cifs harriet:C /mnt/win
and can list the files /mnt/win .
But I get refused permission to read most of them, eg
-------------------------------------
[r...@helen tim]# cd /mnt/win
[r...@helen win]# cd Documents\ and\ Settings/
[r...@helen Documents and Settings]# ls tim
ls: reading directory tim: Permission denied
-------------------------------------
Is there a document that explains in simple language
how to change Windows permissions explicitly for samba?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
