Hi all, firstly I would like to thank You, for this great SW. I have found a bug (maybe it is just not implemented feature). I would like to backup my Windows Server 2008 R2 to samba share with Windows Server Backup, but I am getting error: "The version does not support this version of file format" The backup job actually starts and create some files on a share, but then it throws this error and ends. I have tested it on two PCs: a) Gentoo x64, samba 3.4.3-r1, anonymous share, writable for everyone ================== [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = Martin server string = Samba Server log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 map to guest = nobody security = share encrypt passwords = yes unix charset = UTF-8 socket option = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY wins suppport = no name resolv order = lmhost wins host bcast printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = no [share] comment = Martin path = /home/martin/temp2 public = yes writable = yes force user = martin force group = users b) Debian squeeze, samba 3.4.3-1, act as a domain member: ================== My config is: [global] security = ads password server = servername.domainname.tld encrypt passwords = true workgroup = DOMAINNAME realm = DOMAINNAME.TLD netbios name = backup #idmap backend = ad idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind use default domain = Yes log level = 2 profile acls = yes nt acl support = yes [share] path = /mnt/backup/server/current/writable browseable = yes read only = no inherit acls = yes inherit permissions = yes create mask = 700 directory mask = 700 admin users = DOMAINNAME\backupad, DOMAINNAME\administrator
I have found a solution for this problem. The solution and problem is discussed at technet http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/13bb79e9-c970-4805-88cb-2000b3348070 . You just need to add "strict allocate = yes" option to your Samba configuration.
