So I've mentioned I can't reproduce. To be more verbose, when I use your smb.conf[1] in comment #12 on my up-to-date Ubuntu 16.04 machine, I can't even navigate to the share in nautilus. I get "Failed to mount Windows share: Invalid argument" when trying to log into the "nethome" share on the server machine after providing my server user's name/password. :(
Maybe my config is still incomplete? [1] I have to add "server role = standalone server" to make the config work -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1715582 Title: "Operation not supported by backend" when backing up to smb server Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: OS: Ubuntu 17.10 beta setting up deja-dup to backup to smb/ssh server fails With ssh: Permission denied syslog: Sep 7 10:30:05 mbpr13b deja-dup[30252]: Allocating size to AssistantBackup 0x55d581f75f50 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height().
