Hi freyone
/usr/local/etc/samba/smb.conf  is not a file. It's a link to a file inside the  samba.tcz  extension. Extensions are packed
in a squash file system which is by design a read only file system. You need to replace the link with a copy of the file:

--- Code: ---rm -f /usr/local/etc/samba/smb.conf
cp /tmp/tcloop/usr/local/etc/samba/smb.conf /usr/local/etc/samba/smb.conf
--- End code ---
You should now be able to edit the file. Add the file to your backup by adding:

--- Code: ---usr/local/etc/samba/smb.conf
--- End code ---
to your  /opt/.filetool.lst file. Then run a backup. Note there is no leading / allowed.
Spend a little time learning about persistence by reading:

If we're speaking of the samba3 extension in the x86 tc-7.x repo, then this is not the case - the extension start-up script copies smb.conf into the filesystem so that it is editable.

If smb.conf is altered it needs to be added to a backup to survive re-boot.
