All backup files have allways distinct names. If the backup files are moved elsewhere for archiving, you must recreate the directory structure before doing a restore with the server manager.

+=== cifs - mount error 20 = Not a directory ===
+
+Some network drives don't function correctly with Backup with DAR and the cifs file system. The mount command returns "mount error 20 = Not a directory". See [http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4923 Bug 4923].
+
+This can be worked around by adding the "nounix" option to the mount command in the /etc/e-smith/events/actions/workstation-backup-dar file.
+
+Edit the above file and find the line:
+
+ $err = qx(/bin/mount -t cifs "$smbhost:$smbshare" $mntdir -o user=$login,pass=$password 2>&1);
+
+and change it to:
+
+ $err = qx(/bin/mount -t cifs "$smbhost:$smbshare" $mntdir -o nounix,user=$login,pass=$password 2>&1);
+
+Save the file.
+
+Note that this change may not be preserved across updates/upgrades to the Backup with Dar sub-system.
