Hello,
I'm using the 'samba_backup' script with the self compiled
version.
I noticed the retention period not being applied to etc and sysvol
tar.bz2 files. Looking at the script it appears to only list the
following at the end
'find $WHERE -name "samba4_*bz2" -mtime +$DAYS -exec rm {}
\;'
Can I also include the etc and sysvol tars in the command? Any reason I
shouldn't if I need to restore? Thanks.

Thanks. >There are that many versions of that script floating around, it is hard to keep up with them ;-) Provided the script backs up etc and sysvol to file called 'samba4_*bz2' in $WHERE, the retention period should be honoured, i.e. if the script creates 'samba4_etc.bz2' in $WHERE it should be removed when the max retention date is reached.

It actually backs up as 'etc.2017-05-26.tar.bz2, sysvol.2017-05-26.tar.bz2 and samba4_private.2017-05-26.tar.bz2. -- -- James

The prefix 'samba4_' was missing from one of the lines containing $WHERE. Thanks. tar cjf ${WHERE}/samba4_${n}.${WHEN}.tar.bz2 $relativedirname --warning=no-file-ignored -- -- James
