If you haven't installed Compress::Zlib then compression won't happen. Unlike 2.x, in 3.0.0 it is a fatal error to specify compression without Compress::Zlib being available. Look at the bottom of the host summary to see whether the files were compressed. Note that when you browse a backup with the CGI interface the files appear uncompressed whether or not they are really compressed. Craig - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems getting Samba connection to work - XP
The XP machine is messed up. It is XP pro but I do not have a "Folder Options" in my control panel or in Windows Explorer in order to turn off simple file sharing. I confirmed that the current user was a member of the Administrator group. What I did is go in and create a new Admin user and that new user had the Folder Options. I used the new Admin user to turn off simple file sharing and then deleted the C$ share. I then rebooted and the C$ share gets reestablished either on a reboot or a start/restart of "server" in services. After I did all this I could connect to the C$ share. This is not a BackupPC or Samba issue. Last night I did a full backup of C$ and this morning I saw that it took over 600 minutes to get over 30 GB backed up. I did notice that there was no compression of files even though compression was set to default 3. This may be a misunderstanding on my part of how BackupPC works (maybe compression only works using tar or rsync, I don't know). I will play with that for a while to gain an understanding before posting here. I will be chasing the C$ share/Folder Options issue on a Windows forum somewhere. Thanks for all your help!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems getting Samba connection to work - XP
Quickly try making "backup" an administrator and re-run the smbclient command. If it's a permission thing, this will solve it for sure. (In which case, you'll have to figure out what permission Backup Operators lack... perhaps access for C$ has been restricted or broken. You could try deleting C$ share and rebooting. Or you might find this helpful. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314984) If being an administrator doesn't help, try using the actual administrator user to access C$. If that doesn't work, there's got to be something wrong with the share, especially if other shares work. I'm no SMB guru, though.

Smbclient uses some of the settings in /etc/samba/smb.conf that you might expect to only apply to the server. You may need to set the "workgroup" to match your domain and "password server" to the domain controller. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems getting Samba connection to work - XP
I have found the following in the documentation: All Windows NT based OS (NT, 2000, XP Pro), are configured by default to share the entire C drive as C$. This is a special share used for various administration functions, one of which is to grant access to backup operators. All you need to do is create a new domain user, specifically for backup. Then add the new backup user to the built in ``Backup Operators'' group. You now have backup capability for any directory on any computer in the domain in one easy step. This avoids using administrator accounts and only grants permission to do exactly what you want for the given user, i.e.: backup. Also, for additional security, you may wish to deny the ability for this user to logon to computers in the default domain policy. In windows I have added a user named "backup" and have added them to the built in "Backup Operators" group. I tried to connect using the terminal from my linux machine and still could not. I added the backup user to the password file using smbpasswd. I gave that user the same passwd that I gave it when I added them as a user on the Windows box. I still cannot connect to gandolf/C or gandolf/C$. Eric Snyder wrote: I have successfully backed up my localhost machine that BackupPC is installed on so I know that it is working.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems getting Samba connection to work - XP
Addition... I can connect to a specific share (Eric) on gandolf like this: /usr/bin/smbclient gandolf\\Eric -U backuppc When I list the shares on gandolf by using /usr/bin/smbclient -Lgandolf -U backuppc both Eric and C$ show up. It seems that when I try to connect to C$ that is when I run into the problem. What I am trying to do is to be able to add a host nae to the hosts file and have BackupPC backup everything that is shared on that Windows host without specifically calling out each share in the config file for that host.
