If all does not go well, feel free to mail the author (poultenr@logica.co.uk) about bug reports / help / money / pizza / etc. 3) Read the man page and the NOTES file for more information 4) Work smbtar into your usual nightly backup scheme (presuming you have one :-}). NOTE: If you have problems with smbtar then it's probably best to contact the author Ricky Poulten (poultenr@logica.co.uk).
