Hello all,
Hoping I never have to restore it, I'm trying to do an offline backup of my
domain. On a DC I "croned" /usr/bin/samba-tool domain backup offline
--targetdir=/usr/local/backups/samba
The backup systematically fails leaving a folder
INCOMPLETEsambabackupfileXXXXX with a small .tar inside.
If I run it "by hand", I get the same result. The (what I think is
the)
relevant part of the error is:
running offline ntacl backup of sysvol
py_smbd_create_file: init_files_struct failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
ERROR(runtime): uncaught exception - (3221225485, 'An invalid parameter was
passed to a service or function.')
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line
279,
in _run
return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/domain/backup.py",
line
1219, in run
backup_offline(paths.sysvol, sysvol_tar, paths.smbconf, dom_sid)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/ntacls.py", line 583, in
backup_offline
smbd.create_file(dst, session_info, service)
I don't Python, and all I could think of was to check the sysvol
permissions and, just in case, reset them according to
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Sysvolreset.
Same result.
Kinda out of ideas here.... and, as usually, any help is appreciated.
