Change all your backslashes to two backslashes.

Why smbfs and not cifs?


        

There is a samba box that holds all the windows shares on it. It also
runs a backup on the samba shares.
The boss wanted the email server to be backed up to a folder on the
samba share.
      

Why smbfs and not cifs?

    

If they are both linux servers, why not nfs?


  

I'd like too, I am relatively new to this company (8 mos) and the only other tech has given up trying.
Management's only contact with Linux is with samba. They are dead set on having everything samba.
I have a medium amount of experience with Linux administration so I cannot come up with an explanation convincing enough for them.

PS: can I set the NFS to point to a sub folder in the samba share?
