Thread: BackupExec and Samba shares?

  1. BackupExec and Samba shares?

    I am trying to create a Backup-To-Disk device with BackupExec 9/Windows 2000
    onto a Solaris 8 Samba 2.2.8a share. It just pauses for a couple minutes
    and then gives me an "access denied" error. Well i have full write
    privileges. I can create and write files to this same folder manually, but
    cannot create this backup-to-disk device with BackupExec.

    Anyone have any clue? TIA

    Folder.cfg file....it tries......but it gets denied

    Is BackupExec running as a scheduled task under a different account (ie:
    Backup Operators) ?


  4. Re: BackupExec and Samba shares?

    No, this is the error i am getting when I try to create a new backup-to-disk
    device on a Solaris 8 Samba server.
    Its just very very odd. I am thinking its a Samba Specific thing.

    I didnt go with Samba 3+ whatever because they didnt have any Solaris 8
    Packages. (Yes i am lazy) I want a nice package incase i need to remove the
    thing from my system.

    I was thinking that if it was running as a scheduled task it may be running
    under a different account that didn't have access to the folder you were
    backing up to.

    The error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and the line in the logs:

    unix_mode(BACKUPS/Folder.cfg) returning 0664

    would suggest that all have read/write access except others which only have
    read permissions. The account would have to be other to cause the error.
