So in response to your notes I can see the shares from other desktops and also I see them when I login with ssh as root to the SME server and do the smbclient commands I can see the shares, so I must have something wrong with my target I'm guessing.

Just one more question (and please don't think I am insulting your intelligence) Can you write to the share with the user and password from one of your other machines? This only says see and earlier I specifically asked browse

Hi,

No thats not insulting

I can write to the shares from other computers no problems there I do it all the time on my linux boxes, and they share files from one to the other all day long, and they all have the same workgroup name as well as the SME box, which I also can share file to the SME box ibays etc. no problems there.

I can use the smbclient commands when logged into the SME box, and see my desktop share that says the share is there.

I don't have to have passwords setup on the shares I can disable them for anonymous login or not, but I've got it setup for write access, and I would expect that I should be able to access the share from the SME box.

Let me ask you this, how do I test if I can write to the desktop share simply being logged in.

I did not really want to learn all the aspects of mounting and smbmount etc. or fuse and any other type of mount commands, but it would appear that I now have to in order to determine if I can write to the desktop share at all from the SME box, instead of trying to check out all the backup syntax, I believe I have to see if I can successfully mount the share on the SME box and then write to the share. then at least I'll know I can write to it.

I did not, really want to get into all that but it would appear that if I'm going to continue to use SME I will have to get educated with linux command line some more.
I can't say enough that I wish I could just simply open and save/as command similar to the save to desktop feature that exists in the panel by default.

Anyhow thanks to all for the help.

mary- thanks

I'll boot to windows and try, but I was hoping to get things working on the linux desktop, because I don't use windows anymore.I do still have it on this dual boot machine and it has the shares setup already since I was using windows about 7 months ago just for my trading platform. and to access my shared sme files but thats about all.

Thanks for the info.

Hi,

my dar stopped working 

from my log file..........

Mar 10 14:27:52 server e-smith-bg: cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
Mar 10 14:27:52 server e-smith-bg: 31850: protocol negotiation failed
Mar 10 14:27:52 server e-smith-bg: SMB connection failed

This is strange, I've noticed that it appears that I hijacked this post from the original topic/poster

But, when I initially posted it was in an old DAR2 permissions post and for some reason it's now in this thread, and I've been responding in this thread. It was not until I looked back at the beginning of this post and realized that my initial post is not in the initial place in which I posted it for some reason.

Anyhow I'm sorry about this and I don't know why my posts are in this thread when I can see clearly the original post was about: as quoted above.

I'll reopen another thread once I tinker with my DAR some more.

Hi

Curious about DAR2 panel (DiskARchive)

When creating a new backup job, under the section (backup day)

Does (*) mean a (daily backup) ?

And the user/pass for USB local drive target ? Does this have to root and pass ?

Or can I leave it blank for USB local drive plugged into the SME\

Please advise thanks
