Smb destination

[warwickmm]

It’s simplest to mount the share first. See the following post:

SMB windows directory as source data

Duplicati works best if it is installed on the machine with the files. It is not optimized for reading files on a network share. In any case, you need to use SAMBA to set up CIFS share mounts in Linux. There is no CIFS implementation in Duplicati, so you simply need to mount the folder with SAMBA and then point to it, e.g. /mnt/smbshare.
