I am using a Debian VM, which is running openhabian and i wanted to implement the automated backup solution for a while now.
I read the docs and followed some additional guides and was able to mount my smb share to /media/share (all users can write). The drive is also mounted after reboot.
If i use option 52 to launch the amanda install wizard i get an error but i think that amanda is able to write at the specified smb folder because before i get the error message a folder is created (called slots)
my error message:
Creating Amanda filesystem… host: ‘’ is not in legal name syntax (unexpected end of input)
If you have really read the official docs you will have seen that to use a Windows SMB share for storage is neither supported nor trying to is recommended. It won’t work well.
Drop your idea to use an SMB share and use a NFS mount instead. Or attach local storage.
Yes, it is.
It is the same machine virtualbox with debian runs openhab 3.
the mac mini is pretty power efficient (around 15 W) and i can also use it as a file server and for influx / grafana, docker etc.
But also only the dirty way with cifs as described here:
I had the same issue (symlinks it seems).
I tried the mfsymlink parameter trying to connect with the virtualbox functions but it crashed my startup completely and i had to undo it in recovery:
