OK, thanks. I've defined the shares but am getting "a device specific error occurred" when trying to connect to the shares and select files to backup up. I assume this is some sort of password/account issue? I created an account on the FBSD box using the same name and password as the account on the Win 2K box. From /etc/passwd: backupservice:*:1004:1004:BackupExec Account:/home/backupservice:/nonexistent Next, I added the following to smb.conf and restarted Samba: [root] comment = BlackLamb Root path=/ vaild users = backupservice admin users = +wheel writeable = No What else do I need to do to get this working? FWIW, I can browse the root share from Network Neighborhood on the Win2K box that runs BE logged on as me where I have an account on the FBSD box that matches my account on the Win2K box and I'm a member of the wheel group. Anyway, whatever pointers you can give me will be really appreciated.
