Quite simply, this is not possible using any kind of standard method.
You could loopmount a ext3 disk image from the samba share but you will
then be going through 2 software layers to get to the filesystem which
will be quite slow!
Best to get a NAS disk that supports NFS or to setup another

By chance I stumbled upon a small modification to any linux system using
an mlocate/slocate db. Our BackupPC server runs on Centos 5 which by

My opinion (worth exactly what you're paying for it):
For anything approaching 1TB or larger, consider xfs over ext3. Fsck'ing a
large ext3 filesystem takes ages.
For portability, USB 2 is great. If the drive won't be moving and you have
(or can add) the ports, consider Firewire, or better yet,

should work, tho not the fastest way to do things (and BackupPC is usually
disk-speed-limited on modern hardware).

And connecting the external hard drive to a USB 2.0 port of the server
formatting it to ext3?

Don't do it.

Anyone is using BackupPC with the data directory (var/lib/backuppc) on
a remote Samba share?
I'm trying to do this but I have a lot of problems (like some timeout
errors of smbclient in /var/log/messages).
I wish to know if this configuration should work or if it is normal it

Thank you very much to everybody!
I solved all my problems... :-)

Ok, now it works! And the web interface works too!
Now I have another problem.
BackupPC doesn't use my configuration in /etc/backuppc/config.pl and
/etc/backuppc/hosts.

Yes!
Perl is suid:
server:/usr/local/bin # ls -l /usr/bin/perl
-rwsr-xr-x 3 root root 1334016 2007-11-08 18:49 /usr/bin/perl
How permissions I have to set to /usr/bin/perl?
On another server I have it setted to 755, is it right?

Sorry, I was wrong.
The first line of my bin/BackupPC is

It can't be these, as my problem happens with the start of the

SUID doesn't work for shell scripts for security reasons (I don't
remember the exact reason, though).
