Okay!

I did some more research and now I understand, that samba in the default configuration forbids symlinks.
I solved the problem by switching to sshfs.

Thanks for this great backup tool - I'm a happy user.

Best wishes,
Samuel

Hey!

I have a problem regarding storeBackup.
I run it on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system and try to back up to a server, which is connected via cifs.
When I start storebackup I get the following error in the log and I'm not sure what to do.
''
ERROR     2016.02.06 22:02:23 24808 cannot create symlink from </media/samuel-server/Backup/storeBackup/samuel-ThinkPad-X200/2016.02.06_22.01.56/etc/alternatives/Mail> -> /usr/bin/heirloom-mailx
ERROR     2016.02.06 22:02:23 24808 caught signal 1, terminating
''

If you have any thoughts on this I would be very happy.

Best wishes,
Samuel
