mount backup from SAN storage area

[Roshan]

Hello,

I am tring to mount backup from another server using:

mount -t cifs -o -username=erpbackup,password=P@ssw0rd,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 //172.25.43.59/ERPPRODDB /backup

It says:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I checked the log file:
grep -i cifs /var/log/messages

from the log:
Jun 24 08:15:11 erpbi kernel: CIFS: Unknown mount option -username
Jun 24 08:15:11 erpbi kernel: CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
Jun 24 08:15:11 erpbi kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
 
I tried it on another machine it worked.

Regards,
Roshan

your syntax is wrong, and your windows share permissions should be configured properly.
