Rene,

I think there's something very basic that i think i'm doin wrong here. Le=
t
me just run through how i installed, n tell me if there's anything wrong.=
 I
just did the ./configure using root with all the default settings n did t=
he
"make install". Since i'll be doin back up for samba files only i didn't
install nfs or rsync. Then i logged on to the admin.php and added a new
share with the "create backup of this server checked". After creating all
that i tried loggin in as the specified user and tried to browse through =
but
i'm getting the DBA errors. I checked for the incremental folder, but it'=
s
not created anywhere in the system. Do i have to manually create this
folders or the installation script does all this ? For every new share fr=
om
a different client computer a new folder with the name of the computer wi=
ll
be created under the backup director rite ?

This is the output from the instalaltion

[root@samba bobs]# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache

Now you need to set a password for bobs adminstrator.

creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating inc/config.php

Really hoping to get this software running.
