In xenial, I tested backup and a restore using the gui (restore directly on the smb server) and it worked, somewhat. The permissions were off with the restore, but that's always the case when interacting with samba from unix, and vice versa, and I believe it could be tweaked via smb.conf. I also didn't have to change any config file.
If I put this up in a ppa for xenial, can someone with more backuppc expertise give it a whirl please? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576187 Title: backuppc/smb: BackupPC failes to backup SMB shares after smbclient update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backuppc/+bug/1576187/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
