SAMBA deletes folders in my home folder

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
