Re: [Bobs-devel] Backup files from a NT4 server...

[James W. B. <jbe...@mi...>]

Arnaud:
I've seen this quite a number of times in the past when using smbmount to
mount shares on a Windoze box.  If you look at the archives for samba you'll
see many references to this in relation to backups and backup software in
general.  I believe there is a bug in smbmount that causes this IIRC and I
don't believe there is much you can do about it.

If I've misspoken I'm sure somone will correct me.

HTH
