Originally I tried to use samba to connect but found out smbmount isn't compiled on anything non-linux. I installed Shared Light (shlight) to mount the shares but when using dump, it doesn't appear to read the mount (because of file system incompatibility?). The only way I found to be able to backup the volume is to mount the Windows share then cp -R /mnt/windows /backup then use dump to backup /backup. If anyone has any better ideas or can suggest another method besides converting the NT box I would greatly appreciate it. After mounting the file system with shlight, df returns: shlight-17677 4176832 3103616 1073216 74% /mnt/windows Thanks, -Chad To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
