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. -- -- James

Hello, possibly the author of the samba backup script will read this. I customized the script myself due to some things: 1. At the end the script looks for samba4_* files to rotate the backups. But only backups of the private folder get this prefix with the original script. sysvol and etc backups will remain. 2. The wiki of backup and restore advises to restore on the same version of samba the backup was made of. So it makes sense to get samba version into th...

Hi dear list members It's some time that we have issue regarding backup script of samba 4.0.10. It exits with error: "Error while archiving /home/a/samba-backup/samba4_private.121114.tar.bz2" After some troubleshooting, I noticed it is PROBABLY because of tar, issuing this warning with the exit code of 1: "tar: ./private: file changed as we read it" It is related to this line in the backup script: tar cjf ${WHERE}/samba4_${n}.${WHEN}.tar.bz2 $r...
