New question #118373 on NSsbackup:

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to the Linux/Ubuntu system. My question is regarding accessing to a Windows share as destination folder for backup files. In other words, I am using a local server (the Ubuntu machine) and I would like to backup the files on a Windows share server hosted by the institution I work for. I have complete access (read-write-edit etc) to the Windows server from my Windows machine. 

(Another important point, I can view the windows server from the Ubuntu machine but can not edit/write unless I change to root from my ordinary username. When under root, I can copy files to the windows server. So, I am assuming, granting my username all the root privileges might work -- since this will be an automatic backup that runs in the background. )

How can I set the nssbackup write on the windows share without getting the permission error?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Begli
