Dear all, i installed samba-sernet-ad on centos 7.2. I read that samba_backup script it is available from the source code. As, i do not installed samba from source code, how can i backup Samba AD on my server ? Thank you for helping Regards -- Jules HOUANTONON *Phone* : (00229) 97578914 *Email *: juleshoueto at gmail.com *Skype* : houantonon *linkedin* : www.linkedin.com/in/jhouantonon/en
By downloading the source and extracting the script? More seriously, there are lot of ways to achieve backup of Samba AD. Chose one, that one will be the good one. The point regarding backup is not backup, but restoration. Here it's a bit more complex as some files are hard links (when using Bind+DLZ as DNS back end). Rights must also be set correctly. But that's almost easy. During restoration of AD all DC must be stopped because all DC would try to synchronize with the newly restored DC. Once that first step is done, you will need to join each others DC to the restored one. Once again, this re-join must be done with Samba services stopped (on joined client, not on the restored one of course). Backup / restoration is on my todo list, these were only thoughts assembled during last months in expectation I reach one day that line of my todo list : ) 2016-07-26 12:16 GMT+02:00 Jules Houantonon <juleshoueto at gmail.com>:> Dear all, > > i installed samba-sernet-ad on centos 7.2. > > I read that samba_backup script it is available from the source code. > > As, i do not installed samba from source code, how can i backup Samba AD on > my server ? > > Thank you for helping > > Regards > > -- > Jules HOUANTONON > *Phone* : (00229) 97578914 > *Email *: juleshoueto at gmail.com > *Skype* : houantonon > *linkedin* : www.linkedin.com/in/jhouantonon/en > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba >

You only really need a backup script if you only have one DC, the best way to backup your AD, add another DC. If you do decide to backup your AD, you will have to decide when and how often you create a backup, this is because infrequent backups are worthless. Unless you are sure that your backup contains every change, you could find yourself minus all changes made since the last backup. Rowland
Thank you all for your feedback. I appreciate it. I only have one DC, and i cannot install another one. Please, now how can I adjust the backup script to work witch samba-sernet package installation ?

It's no use in protecting you against user/sysadmin error where you make large, but unwanted changes to your directory (like accidentally deleting 200 users) and you want to reset it to the previous day's state. If your second DC is offsite it might form part of your disaster recovery plan.
