Public bug reported:

Hello,

I have Problems with sbackup 0.10.4 and samba shares using it on ubuntu
8.04 hardy with recent updates.

Reproduce this by:
1. install sbackup from the hardy repos
2. open Backup Properties program
3. choose “use recommended backup settings”
4. switch to “use custom backup settings”
5. modify Tab Destination: use a remote directory. Past an address to a samba 
share (e.g. smb://buero-server/fileserver/backups/sbackup/max-notebook)
6. run the “Test” button on the right side of the editfield
7. get a green ball on the left: “Target dir is writable”
8. klick on the Button “Safe” and than “Backup Now!”
9. it will work and create a .ful backup on your smb share

however, time-set automated backup will not work:
10. choose Tab “Time”, set Do backups to hourly, press Safe
11. wait an hour or previously set a precise time to not wait so long
12. nothing will happen on your smb share, not even a folder will be created

Setting destination to /var/backup or any other folder or mount the smb
share with smbfs or cifs will work.

I am wondering, why manual backups on the Samba share is working an
automated backups do not.

My sbackup.conf is attached. If you need more information about this
problem, let me know.

Regards
Maximilian
