Hi,
I´m having a big problem with my linux machine trying to backup to a windows server.
My windows clients can make the file backup without any problems to my windows server.
Here is my logs:

You somehow got an empty root folder in your file list (""). Could you post the output of urbackupclientctl list on the linux machine?
root@linuxservices:~# urbackupclientctl list
PATH NAME FLAGS
/etc etc follow_symlinks,symlinks_optional,share_hashes
And here is the log from the server:
Erros
29/07/16 08:42
Writing directory metadata to “Y:\urBackupVol01\linuxservices\160729-0842.hashes\.dir_metadata” failed.
Erros
29/07/16 08:42
Fatal error during backup. Backup not completed
Erros
29/07/16 08:42
Backup failed
I notice that before the .dir_metadata has two slaches “\,dir_metadata”
It´s not permission, because other windows clients machines can do the backup perfectly.
The problem is with the 2 linux machines (Ubuntu server 16.04)
What’s the first line of head /usr/local/var/urbackup/data/filelist.ub ?
d"" 0 1469713093#orig_path=%2Fetc&orig_sep=%2F
Did you add the path with urbackupclientctl add ? Because it adds it with a empty name per default (bug). Will be fixed with the next version. Workaround:
urbackupclientctl remove -d /etc
urbackupclientctl add -d /etc -n foo
Problem Solved…
Just use the “-n” and begins to work.
Thanks a lot
