[BackupPC-devel] SMB Windows share not backing up - NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \System Volume Information\SRM\*

[Marc G. <m.g...@li...>]

I've emailed before in the past regarding my Windows share not performing its first full backup. And I've lost the email thread so I apologise for emailing again regarding the same issue.

I'm using smb for the Xfer Method, I have given the user full permissions and it's still not completing its first full backup, This has been going on now for a few months and I can't seem to get a resolution for my problem. Here are the contents from the Xfer log.....

Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share audio)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share audio)
Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 4387717 and 0 files versus 4387717)


I have excluded the \System Volume Information\SRM\* directory and it still keeps failing and I still get this error. It runs for about 3 - 4 days and then fails. I've included only the directories that I want backing up, and it still fails and I get the same error as above!

Im running smbd 4.3.11-Ubuntu and backuppc 3.3.1-2ubuntu3.3

Any suggestions/ideas would be truly appreciative.
