Hello, Looking to implement the backup script from the Wiki. I hit a snag at this part. *Because this script is very basic at the moment, there are some things to know, if you plan to use it unchanged: * ** * *The script doesn't backup extended ACLs. This results in that you'll lose the permissions e. g. on the SysVol share. If you have a tar version that supports the --xattrs option (see the tar manpage), you should add this option to all 'tar' commands inside the script. This enables tar to keep extended ACLs in the archives * I installed Samba from a tar ball(4.1.7) and changed my fstab to support xattrs so I believe this is applicable to me? If so can someone provide me with an example of this option from within the script? Is below correct and all that's needed? I have not altered my samba default installation directory. Thanks. tar *--xattrs* cjf ${WHERE}/samba4_${n}.${WHEN}.tar.bz2 $relativedirname --exclude=*.ldb >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Error while archiving ${WHERE}/samba4_${n}.${WHEN}.tar.bz2" exit 1 fi find $relativedirname -name "*.ldb.bak" -exec rm {} \; else tar *--xattrs* cjf ${WHERE}/${n}.${WHEN}.tar.bz2 $relativedirname >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then -- -James
