Re: [Bobs-devel] BOBS over VPN

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

Rene:
My VPN link is very slow (144K SDSL) and the amount of data on the 
Engineering share is about 7 GB.  Is it possible that BOBS is somehow 
timing out?  Running ./cmdloop manually really doesn't give me any errors.

>>I have BOBS installed and working fine except for one share on a remote box.  I have three shares on this Linux box that are smbmounts of a windows share.  BOBS backs up two of them just fine.  But the third one it refuses to do anything with.  Is there anything I should check or are there known problems with doing an rsync of an smbmounted share?  It looks as if it just does not do the rsync.  The directory and indexes are created normally it looks like to me.  The engineering share below is the one that will not backup.
