ja1clark Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 I have seen several other posts on the forums about samba having sporadic network problems. I am using backup server and have a mapped drive on a Solaris box through a samba server. This map works perfectly except in Retrospect. I have added the mapped drive to the backup server script and when run it just sits there with 'source' showing. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2ski Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Try a regular scripted backup -- That might give us more error details. This is not something we have tested in house, so Dantz does not support this at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1clark Posted July 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 A created a backup script with no schedule and then ran it from the immediate tab. The backup is now running correctly. It did however prompt me for user password which I was not expecting so I will investigate that on the samba side. When I had this added in to the backup server script I could get past the 'source' message by first going in to the volumes tab and opening the map (which also prompted for a password) - the backup server would then scan the files and upon completion of the scan would reboot itself! For now I guess the script gives me a workaround. Can I schedule the script and have it run when nobody is logged in to the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2ski Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Your script will run if no one is logged into the machine. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
