Here's how we now set up Amanda to backup PCs from Samba without
continually adding users to a disklist file. Ask each person that
wants a backup done to share a certain folder that they are keeping
their files in. A policy that the folder must be shared as "BACKUP"
or have the word "BACKUP" (as in MYBACKUP) somewhere in it is in
place here. Also, all PCs are running WinPopUp to receive
notifications. We then use these scripts to gather and handle the
proper info...
smbclientbrowse accesses a machine's domain list, assuming that the
authorized user for backups is "BACKUP"
(permissions just like /etc/amandapass! (600)):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/cygnus/bin/expect -f
spawn /usr/local/pkgs/samba/bin/smbclient -L $argv -U BACKUP
expect {Password:*} {send <<insert your passwd here>>\r ; interact}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
which is called by smbbackuplister for each machine the PDC knows of
and lists only the shares.
(OK, so I'm not too hot with the names):
--------------------------------------------------------------------

chars.");

#print any other special cases to be backed up here
---------------------------------------------------------------------
which is in turn called by full-dumper.pcs-day.A, the wrapper for this whole
fiesta. Note that the name of the script dictates what conf directory it is
looking for. Doing this, I can just copy the script to another name to have
it work a different area that might back things up under a different
criteria.
The script massages the list of shares and machines into the proper formats
for
the files Amanda needs, and then runs the Amanda stuff. It also handles
letting end users know when the backup has started and ended. The only flaw
in
that is that everyone is notified at once, rather than when their backup is
actually taking place. A little hacking of Amanda's calls to smbclient
might
fix that.
