Connecting to SMB share via Rescuezilla. How do you properly fill in/format the UNC path

Featured Replies

Hello.

I am trying to use Rescuezilla to clone some old drives I have and I want to clone the images to a share on my unraid server. I am having trouble figuring out the proper way to fill in the information needed to connect. I am trying to go to an smb share called images. I am using the same username and password that I am able to use to connect to smb on my windows systems. I honestly have no idea what the Domain field is and if that should be left blank, or if there's something specific I need to put in there, same for version of smb (I've been keeping it on default, Negotiate highest SMB2+ supported by client and server)

For the UNC path I have tried /10.0.0.50/images as well as /10.0.0.50/mnt/user/images and a few other variations. Honestly I'm just trying things because I have no idea how this field should be formatted and what stuff goes where. I have only connected to my smb shares on windows where they automatically show up and I don't need to type out the exact info. So if someone could tell me exactly how this all needs to be formatted that would be great. I am a complete beginner when it comes to SMB shares and stuff so I don't really know what I'm doing, so I'm probably missing something that would seem obvious to most.

I also tried NFS but also couldn't figure out what to put in the Server and Exported path fields. If NFS is easier than SMB I can do that to. I just again don't know what to input to get to my unraid's images share.

first off the unc patth needs fixed...

its 2 backslashes : \\

then the urnaid ip

10.0.0.50

so

\\10.0.0.50

the full unc path is

\\10.0.0.50\images

Otherwise... then to denote its samba connection for linux cifs I would recommend adding the "smb:" for unc...

smb://10.0.0.50/images

But for Rescuezilla or tools that mount with mount.cifs, stick with the double-backslash UNC format:

Please Fix It in Rescuezilla:

In the “Share location (UNC path)” field, replace:

/10.0.0.50/images

\\10.0.0.50\images
