Hi Jiahwei,

I tried myself to setup a backup of a windows machine (windows vista 64 
bits, and 7 64 bits) using smb, and had an error similar (NT_STATUS... 
), but not identical to you, if I remember correctly. I am using 
BackupPC 3.1 from the EPEL repository, and found after some research, 
that newer version of samba were not compatible with the smbclient 
option '-N'.

So, I removed the -N option, modifying the line SmbClientFullCmd in the 
web interface, and after that, all went OK. See :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc/+bug/283652

Your case is perhaps not the same, but if you use backuppc 3.1, you will 
certainly face this problem.

Alain
