I decided to try some of the other backup methods that are now in 7.4. I can't seem to get the backup to workstation to work for me, so for those of you that have it working, let me know where I have errored.
Here is my setup
root@dev ~]# config show backupwk
backupwk=service
BackupTime=22:45
Compression=6
CompressionProg=gzip
DaysInSet=1
FullDay=7
IncOnlyTimeout=no
Login=backup
Password=xxxxxxx
Program=dar
SetsMax=1
SmbHost=10.10.10.125
SmbShare=backup
Timeout=8
VFSType=cifs
status=enabled
Here is the error I get when running /sbin/e-smith/do_backupwk
[root@dev ~]# /sbin/e-smith/do_backupwk
Error while mounting 10.10.10.125:backup :
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(
manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Backup terminated: backup failed - status: 7424
Yeah, I know it states a permission issue, but when I run the commands manually per this link,
http://wiki.contribs.org/Backup_with_darumount /mnt/smb
/bin/mount -t cifs //10.10.10.125/backup /mnt/smb -o username=backup,password=xxxxxxx
Everything mounts correctly and I can write to my cifs share. Didn't find any particular setup instructions and the text via server-manager doesn't say anything that needs to be done specific other than filling out the boxes.
And no, I'm not opening a bug until I can determine that it's not me that has errored. My share on my XP pc is created correctly and the userid I have chosen to use appears to be correct as evidence of manually mounting the share does work.
Thanks,
John
