Description Thomas M Steenholdt 2004-07-07 15:24:33 UTC
Using ntbackup from win2k or winXP ws, an "access denied" error pops up when
selecting a samba share as the destination for the backup and attempting to
proceed. (X: is not a valid drive or you do not have access)

This wasn't the case with 3.0.2, but was also there in 3.0.3. (3.0.4 is unknown)

It appears that ntbackup tries to OPEN the share directory, but instead of
returning an error inticating that "this is a directory, not a file", samba
returns "access denied" which is then handled and displayed by the application!
(i may not be entirely correct about this - this is how it appears to me)

To try to reproduce, just use ntbackup.exe to create a backup file on any samba
share.
