For those that are interested this is how got things to work:
On the Mac Mini I edited /etc/smb.conf and put in this:
[backup]
path = /Volumes/Server-Backup
writeable = yes
Then I restarted Windows File Sharing by going to System
Preferences->Sharing and then turning off Windows File Sharing and then
turning it back on.
Then, on my server, I mounted the Mini's drive with this command:
/usr/sbin/mount_smbfs //mike@mini/backup /mnt/backup
Now I'm using this script to do a level 0 dump:
/sbin/dump 0aufL - / | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/root-dump-l0.bz2
/sbin/dump 0aufL - /tmp | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/tmp-dump-l0.bz2
/sbin/dump 0aufL - /usr | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/usr-dump-l0.bz2
/sbin/dump 0aufL - /var | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/var-dump-l0.bz2
Once I see that this is working well, I'll probably set up folders for a
weekly level 0 and dailys level 9's.
Thanks to Chuck for the hint on adding the drive in the Mini's smb.conf
file.
