Yes, you can mount the NT share on the Linux server with the following
command,,:
mount -t smbfs -o username=<your NT user name>,password=<your NT Password>
//<NT Server Name>/<directory to mount> /<directory to mount to on the
Linux server>
Remember you must share the directory on the NT that you want to mount on
the Linux Server.
Also, some backup programs allow you to restore to other servers. I use
Cactus Software and can backup from and restore to most anywhere.
Hope this helps

Subject: [SLUG] How can I mount an NTFS share?
I have a mixture of NT and Linux machines. I store most of the important
data for all of my machines using Samba on one of the Linux machines because
it has the tape drive and cd-r for backups. Unfortunately, I have filled up
that server's drive space.
Now I need to restore a rather large file from tape and I don't have space
on
the linux server. However, I do have a bunch of space on the NT boxes.
QUESTION: Is is possible to mount an NTFS file share from and NT machine on
a
Linux server so that I can do the restore? I know I can use the Samba
client
to access the space, but that wouldn't work with the restore. Any
suggestions (other than the obvious - get a bigger drive) would be
appreciated! Thanks!
Glenn.
