good day... well just need some good input on how to backup a samba server, and to preserve the posix-acl's.. got 1 pdc and 1 bdc running, but it seems that there isn't a good way to make a backup with acl.. nfs4 doesn't have anny good support for acl's (yet) so i tried to mount a samba share with mount -t smbfs.. no acl's there ?? so please is there a protocol/service that i can use, to backup my servers with posix acl. greetings.. --------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (Systeem/Netwerk Beheerder) Montessori Lyceum Herman Jordan Zeist
Hi, while your Q is somewhat OT, here some ideas: * use star or any other ACL awar tar replacement * use a proper backup program, like Arkeia (free for 1 server) * NFS can do ACLs, if properly patched. For example all SuSE systems do that very fine. * backup files and ACLs separately (tar and getfacl/setfacl). * use rsync with the ACL patch (http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-May/009466.html) * use Mondo Rescue (www.mondorescue.org), it does ACLs HTH, Schlomo PS: Mounting anything but NFS will give you suboptimal performance, anyway.

Pax ans Star (and even and getfacl dump) are more for lokal backup's. i was thinking more of rdist, rsync or nfs4 (but i can't get posix acl to work in fc2) coz why make an archive first dist it, and unpackit again? actualy i was hoping to mount a samba share with smbfs then coping it local, but it looks like there are no acl's when mounting with smbfs ?? (or are there?) (but from a win box there are !??!) guess there must be more people with this problem.. just looking for a good and easy sollution for this backup issue!! thx, ----------------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (Montessori Lyceum Herman Jordan) Monday, October 11, 2004, 5:17:40 PM, you wrote: JHT> Collen, JHT> You could use pax to backup ACLs.
