[rdiff-backup-users] Probleme with rdiff on smbfs

[PAtrick Gerber]

Hello all,

I would like to backup my Linux home directory to a (Windows Server) SMB share.

For that I have installed smbfs and mounted the remote SMB share in /media/backup. This is perfectly working, I can write and read on it and create new directories.

Now I would like to use rdiff-backup for copying all the data from my home to this share (/media/backup).  For that I use the following command:

rdiff-backup -v5 /home/user/  /media/backup/rdiff

But it doesn't work and I have the following result:

Using rdiff-backup version 1.1.15
Unable to import module xattr.
Extended attributes not supported on filesystem at /home/user
Unable to import module posix1e from pylibacl package.
ACLs not supported on filesystem at /home/user
escape_dos_devices not required by filesystem at /home/user
