Backup to a network drive is tricky at best with Windows 2008. It is supposed to work if you use a UNC path instead of a drive letter.
Be aware that R2 is actually a quite different animal (Windows 2008 = Vista Server, Windows 2008 R2 = Windows 7 Server) so I am not sure if even that is still supported. Generally, Windows 2008+ backups are best done to a local drive (or with a third-party tool. I am using a combination of a local backup and bacula). > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:samba- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of helac > Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 5:03 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Samba] Windows Server 2008 R2 backup with windows server > backup > > > Hi, > > I would like to ask if someone has been able to do a backup from > Windows > Server 2008 [R2] to a Samba share?
