[FX.php List] [OT] Problem trying to use mount_afp w/ FileMaker Server

Fri Nov 30 13:24:53 MST 2007

All I need is the simplest way to do this... the script already takes  
the backup that has just occurred, zips it, copies it to a 2nd  
internal drive, then to a remote volume...

Whatever I can shoehorn into the existing script is what I'm looking  
for... :)

If Samba requires something to be installed, I won't fool with it...

If, on the other hand, I could add another line to my script and it  
would work without any trouble, that's what I'm looking for...

Any help would be greatly appreciated; by the way, if anyone on this  
list is interested in this backup script, I'll ask my friend about  
whether I can share it with this list.

Best,

Bob Patin
