I installed smbclient (which is not installed by default) and tested the connection. Worked fine.
Then I applied the connection string to deja-dup. Selected drop-down Network Server Server address: smb://10.1.0.4/nethome Folder: /backup/mbpr13b The difference to previous tests: Entering the smb service (//server/servicename) works, entering just the server (smb://server) does not. I will attach a screenshot that demonstrates the issue (compared to previous screenshots). Maybe you want to exchange "Server Address" with "Service path" and in the help modal add "smb://gnome.org/backup_dir" as the current description and help is definitely missleading. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2017-10-19 12-09-27.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1715582/+attachment/4975691/+files/Screenshot%20from%202017-10-19%2012-09-27.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1715582 Title: "Operation not supported by backend" when backing up to smb server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1715582/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
