I would not expect this, but it's *possible* if you have, say, upgraded 
smbclient and use samba for backups.  You can also downgrade smbclient 
if this is the case.  You can validate this by executing the backup 
command line and reviewing the results.



Should I try to upgrade the Ubuntu v3 apt-get installation or start
afresh with a TAR install of v4?


No, I don't recommend upgrading without at least a rudimentary diagnosis 
of the problem.



There are 6 clients running a mix of Windows 7, Windows 10 and all
using Microsoft Outlook.


Samba can't back up Outlook unless it's shut down, obviously.  Is this 
what you're trying to back up?  What method are you using?



Thanks in advance.

Paul
