Rsyncd on one of them. In looking at the backups there are some
differences.
First SMB. When I look at a SMB backup (full or incremental) I see what

I'll bet you have an Apache password issue. When BackupPC installed it
should have set up a username of backuppc and an 8 character long random
looking password. Every time I have run install it comes up with a screen
that gives you this password. This username and password is stored in a file
in
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
Good luck,

In what directory do I install Time::ParseDate?
Yes, there is not corresponding entries for each folder so I will run

I had problems making rsyncd work on XP pro. I ended up giving up and
using Samba rather than rsyncd. After I got past the authentication
