samba - Sep 2019 - New samba backup tool (online & offline) retention

Hi,

Using old samba_backup with 4.4.x a paramter can be defined to keep
some copies of backup and purge automatically.

I'm searching same option with new samba backup offline or online, but
I can't find, where is it?

Thanks

That is left to the administrator to handle, it isn't part of the tool.

The tool is focussed on safely taking the backup.

Trenta, 

Then i think you have used my modified version of the backup tool. 

Im really low in time to modify it atm, so if someone is willing to add the new
version of backup to it.
Its on github.. 

Its something like this what im thinking of. 
(See : https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Back_up_and_Restoring_a_Samba_AD_DC)

If samba version is 4.9 then you can use samba-tool online 

If samba version is 4.10+ you can use samba-tool online and offline

Run backup wil samba is online, verify it, if errors, check if other ad-dcs are
online, if yes, stop this samba-ad-dc.
Run backup offline,No other AD-DC online, mail the admin, let him fix it. 

Verify backup, start samba-ad-dc again if needed. 

See : 
https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/blob/master/backup-script/backup_samba4

Preffered, lines 259-355, that should be functionized. 
Then new part can be added. 


Greetz, 

Louis
