Hi all,...
... currently I am trying to get hold of a strange error which is successfully keeping me from sleeping the last week. Basically, I am running a DebianGNU/Linux based machine with samba 3.0.0 as a backup server for an amount of Windows NT4 workstations. There is an old backup "framework" around here, basically a collection of .bat files on the workstations which at night run xcopy /d to copy files from the workstation to the backup server (which used to be an NT4 server before, as well). This procedure by now was intented to only copy modified files from workstation to backup, which worked pretty well...
This is not the case with Samba, however. Basically, the Samba server is part of the local NT domain, access permissions are fine so far, yet xcopy each and every time is copying _all_ files to the backup server instead of just those which didn't change. And, by now, no matter which files or directories I am copying there - if they already exist on the samba machine, they're obviously updated, but their timestamp doesn't change while doing this.
After playing around with dos filetime and fake directory create filetimes without any success: Can anyone enlighten me in this topic?
TIA, have a fine weekend everyone! Kris
