Hello,
I notice the script expects to have $PATH include
'/usr/local/samba/bin'. Script will fail if it can't find tdbbackup.
It
was obvious to me but others may stumble. Maybe someone could add under
the 'About the samba_backup script' section.
"/This requires that your whole samba installation is on one place (like
/usr/local/samba/). This script assumes you have included
'usr/local/samba/bin' as part of your path variable for root./"
The script will fail with mention of a status code. However looking
through the script, I see no mention of what these codes mean. Thoughts?
Thanks.

I did update my $PATH for my individual user account but not root. The script wouldn't run unless I also updated root's path as well. -- -James
