[BackupPC-users] backup command works only when %password is added!

[Khaled <kh...@ip...>]

Hello list,

I have been attempting to backup XP C$ with the following command:

/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\mypc\\C\$ -I 192.168.129.200 -U pcbackup -E -N -d
1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - /Documents\ and\ Settings

whilst ssh'd to the backup server, but it does not work, despite:

1. there being a share username and password added to the .../mypc/config.pl
file
2. the user 'pcbackup' being a local administrator on mypc with the same
password as specified in the .../mypc/config.pl
3. the user 'pcbackup' being a domain user

It only works when I include the %password into the command line like so:

/usr/bin/smbclient \\\\khaledpc\\C\$ -I 192.168.129.200 -U
pcbackup%password -E -N -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - /Documents\ and\
Settings

Can anyone explain this? Where am I going wrong?

The following is the variable I am using on the .../conf/config.pl file:

$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} = '$smbClientPath \\\\$host\\$shareName'
	    . ' $I_option -U $userName -E -N -d 1'
            . ' -c tarmode\\ full -Tc$X_option - $fileList';

the error I get with the above is:

Domain=[OFFICE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Domain=[OFFICE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0
filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share C$)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share C$)

Finally, when I manually backup (whilst ssh'd to the server) why doen't the
cgi interface pickup on this? i.e. it still says that mypc has never been
backed up.

ANY help is appreciated.

Kind Regards

Khaled
