You are right: this is not a BackupPC problem. If you run samba manually and can't see the files it is most likely a permissions problem. Does the user login you are using with Samba really have permissions to see all the files? After carefully checking permissions, you could check the samba mail list. You could also try rsync as a transport mechanism. Craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
