i don't think that i would do it this way. i use rsync via ssh to accomplish my backups from linux server to linux server....very fast and easy to setup.
i mount an nt server share to one of my linux boxes using mount -t smbfs, which uses smbmount, and use rsync "locally" to backup the nt share to one of my linux boxes. stu ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 4:24 PM Subject: Re: [Samba] Question on using smbmount > After thinking about this, is this even a viable option?
