Hi,
I am a network person dealing mainly with windows and totally new to Mac system. We have a client who wants their Macs (with OS X and 9) to get backed up using Veritas Backup Exec which is installed on their Windows 2003 Server.
We have setup the Macs to talk and "see" the server, and the server can also see the shares on the Mac if you browse for them under Network Places.
But when we try to browse for the files in Backup Exec, we can only go as far as the 'root' or home directory. We get the error which reads "a device specific error occurred", which, according to Veritas means that may occur due to the incorrect share name used.
In windows all we do is right-click on the folder and setup sharing (sharename, permissions, etc). How do you do this in Macs?
we have done the ff on the Mac:
1. Enabled Windows sharing, Personal Folder sharing (and all other sharing services that we thought we might need)
2. Installed the backup exec agent, and made sure that it's running using the Terminal
3. Created a folder to share, but it's in the "Public" folder, set the permission for the Mac admin to be able to read and write, the group "guest" to read & write, and "others" to read& write. These permissions are for testing purposes only.
How can we set permissions to folders inside the "Public" folder and how can we make the folder to be the only folder accessible to other users?
Thank you much!
