failure when backing up SMB shares on windows

Open omar-polo opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

Hi. Using Plakar on Windows, I try to backup smb shares. At first stage this command seems to run ok : plakar backup <ip addr>\share , but the backup fails at the end with a message like : Plakar: failed to create snapshot: path "//share/file.mp3" not found in the cache.

I can backup the same source without error if I first map a drive (j for ex) to the share, and use this command : plakar backup j:\share I can add Plakar backup under Linux of CIFS mounted shares is also OK.

reported by JoR on discord, thanks!
