Backup unix samba export with nt veritas backup exec 8

[Schack, Daniel]

Hi, I'am new in using Samba.
 
My HPUX-Box has SAMBA 2.2.0 installed and the SAMBA-exports are visible in
NT Backup-exec 8.3.. -
but when I try to choose backupfiles the Popup-Window [a device specific
error occured] is the end of my backup hopes.
Is there anything to alleviate this error?
 
Is it possible to use Pipes somehow with Win NT?
 
PS: Nt-backup can backup the exports.
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thanks Daniel

This was probably part of the upgrades that were done to
fix the locking/share mode problems in the 2.0.7 -> 2.2.x
update.

It isn't easy to say for certain exactly what the fix was
as there have been literally *hundreds* of correctness fixes,
from wildcard matching to the above mentioned locking
rewrite.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until 2.2.0 ships, which
I cannot say for certain yet (we're still working on the
NT printing update).
