Have two XP laptops that I am trying to get to back up to a Samba share with Norton Ghost 2003. My laptop is "gtwylptp" and my son's, a Dell 8600 with a broadcom 440x NIC, is "stu07-53". I am the user and group backing up both machines. "gtwylptp" backs up without a problem however "stu07-53" hangs as apparently the Lock file has "RDONLY" access and the Ghost (DOS) application times out. My hosts.allow and hosts.deny are untouched. I have no problem writing to the share from "stu07-53" from any WinXP application. And the XP side of Ghost writes some sort of file prior to rebooting the machine and launching the DOS application and proceeding to time out. Obviously the XP and DOS parts of the Ghost application use XP and DOS specific broadcom 44x driver Troubleshooting direction appreciated. thanks Samba version 3.0.0-Debian PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1208 drratliff drratliff stu07-53 (192.168.1.161) Service pid machine Connected at ------------------------------------------------------- BigDeb_Ghs 1208 stu07-53 Thu Jan 29 00:22:32 2004 Locked files: Pid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock Name -------------------------------------------------------------- 1208 DENY_DOS 0x1 RDONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /holding/ghostbackups/dell28Jan04.gho Thu Jan 29 00:22:40 2004 Samba version 3.0.0-Debian PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1251 drratliff drratliff gtwylptp (192.168.1.154) Service pid machine Connected at ------------------------------------------------------- BigDeb_Ghs 1251 gtwylptp Thu Jan 29 00:45:46 2004 Locked files: Pid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock Name -------------------------------------------------------------- 1251 DENY_DOS 0x2 WRONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /holding/ghostbackups/gtwy29Jan04.gho Thu Jan 29 00:45:57 2004
Do you have admin privileges on your son's computer? Can you make a dos boot floppy using the tools provided with Ghost and then do the backup from there? I use Ghost in this way with Samba without any problems, but getting the boot floppy right (with the NIC drivers, etc) is a pain. I've never done it when windows is running. Mark
I have administrative privileges. I have a Ghost boot floppy and Ghost bootable cd for MY machine but his machine has no floppy and I'm not getting anywhere on his. I'm wondering whether its something in the dos NIC driver or some flag that I need to set/unset? thanks for the response ==============Original message text==============On Thu, 29 Jan 2004 15:08:38 -0800 "Mark" wrote: Do you have admin privileges on your son's computer?
