No updated packages available for Ubuntu pre-Lucid

[Gotit]

Cannot use an smb location for backup destination as stated on the NSsbackup homepage:
"Some will do the backup on your hard drive while others will do on a remote location ( on a SSH, FTP, SMB server ... ) .
NSsbackup is one of those software."

I specified an smb location (smb://homenet/usb_storage/) but when I press the "Test" button I get a pop-up that states:
 "No plugin could deal with that schema 'smb://homenet/usb_storage/'"

Running:
NSsbackup v0.2.1
Ubuntu 9.04

Installed the PPA from https://edge.launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team/+archive/ppa

-> This is fixed in nssbackup 0.3.x. However, no updated packages are available for Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04, 9.10

This has been fixed on NSsbackup 0.3 or Sbackup 0.11 (they're identical
now).

@Gotit: Thank you for using nssbackup and reporting this issue. Currently there are no updated packages prepared for Ubuntu 9.04. I'll fix this and provide packages ASAP.

As you might recognized, nssbackup and SBackup are finally re-merged. SBackup 0.11.x is identical with nssbackup 0.3.x. Development will take place in SBackup (to stop confusion) from now. So, you're invited to use SBackup from now. Thanks.

Hi,
I installed SBackup 0.11 from the tar.gz and now I have options to backup to networked destinations. However, I can't seem to get SBackup to mount my SMB destination. The SMB destination I am trying to use is an external HD connected to my Netgear WNR3500L router as a USB attached NAS. I have tried many different host names and paths but I always get the message:
Unable to mount host
Unable to mount target

Is there a plugin or something I need for accessing SMB? I can get to the drive through gnome/nautilus by Places > Network > Windows Network > Back-up > Homenet > USB_Storage (Back-up is my workgroup and Homenet is the device name). I have also tried copy/paste the location from nautilus window browser homenet/usb_storage/ into the path field but still I get
Unable to mount host
Unable to mount target

Any suggestions?
Thanks
