Likewise. My SMB/CIFS destination is a NetGear ReadyNAS. I can try setting up another share on a different system and see if the error occurs; that might narrow it down to an issue on the NAS.
Ops… unfortunately it seems the commonalities end there.
My failing setup was as follows:
remote storage on a Windows 7 machine (RAID-1 disk) in an Active Directory Domain, Folder shared to a dedicated backup user on the domain
Duplicati on a Linux WS running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (kernel 4,4,0-109). This machine (working as the Active Directory Domain Controller using Samba4) is hosting the data to be backed up on a RAID-1 disk, and is mounting the remote storage folder using Samba (version 4.1.17) and mounting the folder with the same backup user
On the other hand the setup that so far has always worked was the same with the only exception of the remote storage that is not anymore on the Windows 7 machine, but located in a RAID 5 disk running in a QNAP NAS and accessed by Duplicati via SFTP
Should you need any more detial please let me know.
