Hi, together, I've some problems backing up NT shares using smbclient/smbtar. When the filename contains a german umlaut (i.e. ?, ?, ?, ?), an error occurs when amanda receives the files from the PC. Excerpt from mail report: ... /-- devwage700 //devwagwoce7621/backup1$ lev 1 STRANGE sendbackup: start [devwage7001://devwagwoce7621/backup1$ level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/local/bin/smbclient sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/local/bin/smbclient -f... - sendbackup: info end ?

ERRDOS - ERRbadfile listing \Schr?der, Mark\* | tar: dumped 308 files and directories | Total bytes written: 293888 sendbackup: size 287 sendbackup: end \-------- Any idea? I tried to play around with the configuration on either the amanda and the samba side, but without success. When I use smbclient manually I can access and download the files without problems. My configuration: Amanda version 2.4.2p2 @ Solaris 8 Samba 2.2.2 @ Solaris 8 NT 4.0 SP6 shares Any help is appreciated. Thanks. regards, Bj?rn
