Hi all, I'm experiencing a problem when NTBACKING'UP my W2000 Server files against a Linux 2.4.9 + ReiserFS 3.6 file system + Samba share. It works OK for the first 4 Gb's around file size. Then ntbackup stops serving data and the file on the samba side appears to be downsized to 0 and growing ssssslowly. Once you stop ntbackup by killing the process, the file reappears at its real size (more than 4Gbs), but, since ntbackup stopped, it is impossoble to recover. I have also created a local 22Gb. f...

Hi List, I have a very strange problem with NTBACKUP writing to a SAMBA share. NTBACKUP won't write files bigger than 4.29GB to a SAMBA share. Here are the specs of the systems: SAMBA Server: Slackware 10.1 SAMBA 3.0.21a (large file support turned on) Kernel 2.6.8 / ReiserFS Windows Server: Windows 2003 Server NTBACKUP (lates...

Hello. We are having a really strange problem and I have been searching the net all day for a answer. We are trying to restore files from NTBackup to a Samba share using alternate pathing in ntbackup. The samba machine is a Solaris 8 machine with Samba 3.0.3 beeing a member of out AD domain. We map the samba share to Y:\ on the XP machine using a named account in AD, with a local counterpart in the Solaris machine. When accessing this s...

Hi all I noticed that 3.0.7 is out (another security release)... does this contain the fixes for NtBackup connecting to a share? Currently I have to use ftp to copy the data to the server before backing up... not ideal. Thanks in advance ? Tom Hibbert ??? Technical Specialist ?

Hi all, I experienced the same problem with 3.0.4 that Jeremy and Bruno were discussing - NTBackup unable being to connect to shares and erroring out with 'Access Denied'. I have today upgraded to 3.0.5 (using the Debian Woody packages) and that didn't fix the problem. Was the fix in 3.0.5r1 only applicable to 2000/2003 server? I am stuck in the dark ages of NT 4 here, maybe that is...

Hi I have a Linux/XFS/Samba that Windows Domain users access through client machines either by UNC or mapped drive. I am trying to work out a backup plan. I would like to use ntbackup to achieve this with Normal (once) and Differential (daily) backups. However, when I run the normal backup the archive checkbox does not get cleared so the differential backup backs up everything again. I have realized that "map archive" maps the archive to the owner x it in Linux. So...

I'm reposting this problem (perhaps a bug) now I've got more information on it. This is another point of view of the situation and I hope someone could have run into the same trouble before (and solved it :-)) This is it: * with ntbackup 2000 I create a 22Gb .bkf file in the windows machine. * I can copy that file over a samba share and get correct info form the file in windows explorer. * ls -l also returns correct info, *WHILE* stat, mc, and other programs raise up with an error regarding a value too high for defined data typ...

(Sys config info at bottom) Use XP ntbackup.exe output to Samba share for several years and never had a problem. Backup size would range between 10 and 15 GB. Would always perform a verify after the backup. A few months ago the process started failing at the verify stage. The backup appeared to complete successfully, but as soon as t...

Hi all, I have a problem with using NTBackup with SAMBA shares. I know about bug in version 3.0.x. I have SAMBA 1.9.18 at the moment on AIX machine and two Windows2003 Server. While trying to select SAMBA shares for backup I have "Access to this device or folder has been denied" error. This problem appears only on Win2003Srv. When...

Hi All, I have been having problems with the known issue on 3.0.4 with NTBackup and a DFS related issue. Therefore I decided to give 3.0.5rc1 a go, as SuSE have released the rpms on their website. Once I installed the rpms, I found that all daemons started correctly, but all domain authentication failed (I am running a samba server as a member server against a Windows 2000 mix...

Hi all, Has anyone got any advice on the best way to backup Exchange mailboxes (Exchange 5.5) running on a Windows 2000 server? We already use rsync on a number of other Windows boxes for general file backup. I've read that even if you get backups of the Exchange mailbox files, then it's really tricky to get the mailboxes back into Exchange if the server dies. Anyone got any tips on

Hello All! I have strange problem with my samba3. I want to backup my data from w2k computer to samba share. For this, I using order tool - Windows Backup program. When I trying to choose network disk for backup destination, I see error message: "Access denied". But, I can create any files or folders on the disk manually, for example, with Explorer. Very interesting, that this problem

.... So its system is at C:\WINNT instead of C:\Windows. The target is a RHEV VM. Booting the source machine from the virt-p2v CD and trying virt-p2v-server fails apparently because the Windows directory is c:\WINNT. What about the old-fashioned way - provision a new VM and use Microsoft ntbackup to backup the system drive and system state on the physical and restore to bare virtual metal on the newly provisioned VM? Well , that also blows up because Windows 2003 installs into C:\Windows and doesn't give an option to put it anywhere else. So the target VM has an existing installation...

We are migrating an LTO2 library off Veritas and NTBackup on a Windows Server to a Linux Server with either Bacula or Amanda. Originally, the Windows server used scripts to sync changes from various other Windows servers using Robocopy to a locally attached set of volumes, then ran the backup nightly (Full's were always done). I now had hoped to rsyn...

I need to setup a CentOS box offsite to have a series of files replicated to it. My problem is this machine won't have Samba on it but I need to replicate the hierarchy in question in such a manner that I can restore from it and retain file system permissions. That's where I am stumped, anyone got any ideas? Thanks, jlc

...mba-3.0.14a compiled with acl, winbind, Kerberos and LDAP support. Both machines are members of an Active Directory domain. The data to copy reside on NTFS filesystem and have a complex ACL and ownership structure which has to be preserved during copying. For copying I am going to use Microsoft ntbackup tool which should preserve ACLs but what about ownership? Thanks for any suggestions. Regards, Artur Majdiuk

Hopefully this is not too off topic. I have a server in which I'm creating an Exchange Information Store backup using ntbackup. The .bkf file it creates is 112GB. My goal was first to rsync it over to a local linux server, and then rsync just the changes over the internet to another linux server. I do this with other Exchange .bkf files (in the 4GB to 20GB range) and it seems to work well only transferring the changes over...
