samba - Apr 1999 - Backing up Samba shares with Seagate Backup Exec for NT

Hello,
 
Does anyone have experience backing up their samba SMB shares with an
NT-based backup system? I'm using Seagate Backup Exec 7.0, and whenever I
select a share on Samba, I get a message saying "Unable to connect to
server, <F5> to retry", and then another one saying "A device
specefic error
occured". My samba shares are all fully operational (I can access them from
a client workstation without problems), and I use Backup Exec with other NT
shares all the time. 
 
Any ideas, or comments on this method of backup are greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks,
John Rauch
Clark Nuber, P.S.

After thinking about this I would think that you should be able to backup
shares on any SMB machine as long as the login/passwd for the B.U.E.
account are the same on both machines. However, another way to do this is
to install the UNIX B.U.E. agent on the UNIX machine.
