SAMBA deletes folders in my home folder

[Danesh Daroui <Danesh.D@bredband.net>]

Hi all,

I have installed SAMBA and it works fine. Each user with WinXP has its 
own home folder and all printers all shared between all WinXP users. The 
problem is when I create a folder in my shared folder and then restart 
the server, my new created folder at my own home folder is gone. It 
seems that SAMBA deletes all new created folder by WinXP users in their 
home folders when the server is restarted. It sounds unusual since all 
my data will be gone and therefore these folders for each user will be 
practically useless. Is there something that I can change in SAMBA's 
settings, so my new created folders and all files transfered to it will 
be remain unchanged even when the server is restarted? I want to use it 
as a backup server, so it should save all my files permanently.

Thanks,

Danesh
