I use rsync to backup my linux samba shares to a remote tape backup server. Users periodically have open/locked files within their shares. Other than telling the users to logout ( this doesn't always work - go figure), how can I ensure the files listed in the smbstatus -L are successfully backed up? Are there any other samba related tools to assist with automated backups? Andy ----------------------------------- Vernon A.
