The idea is to backup onto my Buffalo Linkstation which is network connected and fully visible at all workstations so I chose 'cifs' as the workstation type. The linkstation is called 'LS-GL77E' and the share available is actually called 'share'. After setup the settings are confirmed as...
Backup is Enabled.
Backup is made on LAN workstation LS-GL77E via cifs
Destination backup share folder is share
Login is edform
Password is ********
Number of rotating backup sets is 2
Number of daily backups contained in each set is 7
Compression level (0-9) of backup is 6
Daily backup occurs at 14:10

Full backup sessions (new backup set) are allowed everyday

I've looked in Bugzilla and there is nothing to suggest that the system should not work, so I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone set me straight or point out my errors?
