Hello,
I'm using Samba version 1.9.18p10.
I am trying to backup a Win95 disk with smbtar, but it skips lots of files
without any apparant reason. For example, I have a directory C:\Acrobat3,
with various subdirectories. With smbclient I can see and browse them just
fine:
smb: \> cd Acrobat3
smb: \Acrobat3\> dir

smb: \Acrobat3\> cd Distillr
smb: \Acrobat3\Distillr\> dir

However, when I use smbtar to backup the Acrobat3 directory, only the Reader
subdir is read, and the others are skipped:
[nemesis.stuyts.nl:dump/pc]334: smbtar -v -s branno -x c -p '***' -t
a.tar Acrobat3
server is branno
share is c\\
tar args is
tape is a.tar
blocksize is

90624 ( 491.7 kb/s) \Acrobat3\Reader\Browser\nppdf32.dll
tar: dumped 70 tar files
Total bytes written: 5466624
So it is skipping both the Distillr and the Exchange directories. This also
happens with other directories. All in all, there are 10971 on the C: drive,
but only 8305 are backed-up using smbtar.
Is this a bug in smbtar, or am I overlooking something?
Ben
