This pdf seems to have some useful points:<br>
<a href="http://pserver.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/linux-cifs-client-guide.pdf" target="_blank">http://pserver.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/linux-cifs-client-guide.pdf</a></blockquote><div><br>I'll go and read that! <br>

<br>
Does the drive run sshd? if it does, that would make your rsync<br>
backups much easier...</blockquote><div><br>I don't think it does - It just seems to know about FTP and SMB <br><br>Thank you for your advice. If you have any ideas about 'mount error 5' I'd appreciate it.<br>
