I am having trouble getting SMBTAR to do a complete backup on NT Workstation and NT Server. The backup starts off just fine. However, after a short time, errors begin showing up and files are not backed up. The files that are missed are not open files. I have set the -t option to disk and tape. I get pretty much the same result. Both NT machines have over 2 GB of data to backup up. I am running Samba 2.05a on AIX 4.3.2 using an IBM S7A Enterprise Server. If anyone has solved a problem like this with SMBTAR, I would be interested in hearing from you. Thanks in advance.
