I have a Seagate BU drive that I access using Samba Server. I want to backup my system to that drive. I can see it in the file manager but the BU software cannot find it. How can I access this drive from the command line? Where is it mounted? What would the path be? Regards, Marty

What OS? what version of samba ? Is the drive plugged into your computer or another and is accessed over the network ? Etc, Etc Rowland
