Bruce,

I've installed your scripts, had to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash before it would run, not sure why. No it runs but I get the following error when giving the domain admins name and password.

mount error: Device or resource busy
Please refer to the smbmnt( manual page.
smbmnt failed: 255

When I give a workstation users name and password I get

session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied).
SMB connection failed.

Can you shed any light on this. I bet it's basic Linux stuff but forgive me I'm only a newbie.

II would like to suggest you using RARLinux since it support all those options needed.  RARLinux support spanning and it compress well by nature.  So wouldn't  that be a good solution to backup to an SMB share?  Would it be possible to include it to FlexBackup to do the job?  

 I actually tried it once and it did the job very well.  (did'nt restore but I dought there would be any trouble)

I would also like to point out that I'm not a guru so please dont be too hard on me.

I just wanted to submit the Idea ....
