How to mount CIFS Share locally?

Hi all,

I want to mount my Alfresco CIFS Share locally and create backups of that share.
I am able to access the CIFS Share from other machines in my subnet but not within
the server itself.
When I try to mount the share manually I get an error:

<strong>
alfresco-community # mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=xxxxxxxxx //127.0.1.1/Alfresco/ /media/Alfresco  
Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
</strong>

But it must be possible like I have seen here:
<cite>
http://www.mos-eisley.dk/display/it/Batch+upload+to+Alfresco+sites+via+CIFS
</cite>

I have no idea what does that error mean. Is it because of the firewall or because of my
Alfresco configurations? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Is the IP right? 127.0.1.1

Shouldn't it be 127.0.0.1?
