I have been trying to use NSsbackup for several days now, but I have yet to get even one good backup.  I am running Ubuntu (8.10) on a high end machine.  I am trying to backup over the network to a Windows server.  I believe the Windows box is using NTFS.  I am using ext3.  I have the share mounted under /mnt.  The folder I am using is several level (directories) down, so the path is "/mnt/Xserver/michael/MyBackup/SQA-mfp/".  When I try to use backup now I never get a completed backup.  Sometimes It starts to create a backup, but sooner or later it goes to sleep and never wakes up.  Some times it never even creates the basic files and folders.  Any idea what I am doing wrong?
