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.

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.

Yes, I created a user called "backup" and they are a member of the
backup operators group. I gave that user a password. I am not escaping
the $ but use a command similar to what you show below and get
"NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED". Again, If I change the command from
"/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\C$ -U backup" to "/usr/bin/smbclient
\\\\gandolf\\Eric -U backup" it connects to the Eric folder just fine.
I don't know that much about sharing and networking but it's like the
default share on "C" is messed up.
What next?

Eric,
You may need to do two things... Are you creating a user on the
Windows box that is a member of the backup operators group? You can
either do that, or use the administrator account. In either case,
you will probably want to use a username that exists on the Windows
machine that *requires a password*. Using an account that has a
blank password may work only for certain folders, but fail when
accessing others, inexplicably.
Second, don't escape the $. I just did this:
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\dev1\\C$ -U jhughes
It worked fine. However, if I use a username that doesn't exist on
the windows machine, it gives NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
Good luck,

Using the following commands in a terminal su'd as backuppc the
following commands work or don't work:
*Works:*
/usr/bin/smbclient -L \\\\gandolf\\ -U backuppc
This produces a list of shares on the XP machine gandolf.
*Also Works:*
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\Eric -U backuppc
This connect ti the share Eric on the XP machine gandolf.
*But does not work (frustrated Grrrrr):*
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\C/$ -U backuppc
Gives me "NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME"
/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\gandolf\\C\$ -U backuppc
Gives me "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"
How to fix?
