DIdn't I reply to question just like this coupe days ago? Don't remember if it's the same thread, but it was the same problem with backing up Win to Linux using rsync and smbmount. You should check the archive. Anyway, here is the answer. Samba can use credentials file. Read $> man smbmount That will take care of the authentication part (eg. username + passwd for samba mount). Then if you want it to be automatically mount during boot, add the command that you type by hand to /etc/rc.d/rc.local Anything that you put on rc.local will be executed during boot. You may want to be carefull and make sure it works, otherwise your system may not work correctly. Even better is probably to just put the mount command on a script, and also the rsync command on the same script, so the (pseudo)script will have something like (this is un-tested, just to give you idea): #!/bin/bash smbmount /mnt/win //win.machine/sharename -o credentials=<filename> rsync <options> /mnt/win/* /backup/dir smbumount /mnt/win Done.
