Re: [Bobs-devel] BOBS over VPN

[Rene R. <re...@gr...>]

Great, I'm happy to hear that.

Maybe the deletion issue will get some work next year. I'm doing too
much work already to do more. I hope you find someone that can help.

Cheers
Rene

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.
