All, I'd like to use rsync as a way to back up Windows devices on a network, pulling data off of the Windows boxes and putting it onto a Samba share. Is this even possible? I suspect I either need some sort of rsync implementation on Windows (ha!) or I need to have Samba know to "reach into" the boxes and get the info for rsync-ing. Doable? A fool's errand? The setup:

Hello: I've been working for a few days on getting a FreeBSD 5.3 server up and running as a samba data backup server. My goal is to schedule periodic backups of our file server. After reading recommendations (e.g. by Mr. Terpstra) I've focused my attempts aroung robocopy, xxcopy, net rpc share migrate shares. However, I'm running into stumbling blocks that seem to involve a problem with permissions to write to ACLs -- but only when trying to transfer files from Windows to Samba. Before you pass this by as another "can't change ACLs" post: YES, using Wi...

Hi Tom Did you solve your problem woth robocopy? I have "Access Denied" error when trying to copy with /SEC option (in order to retain the NTFS permissions). It says it is not NTFS filesystem. Of course, I am using the ext3 filesystem with acl support so it should work? thanks very much for any suggestion dejan gambin

Has anyone figured out a good automated way to migrate files from Windows Server to Samba Server without compromising file ownership and permissions? We could just log on as each user and then drag and drop using windows explorer to preserve the permissions and ownership rights but that is not a very efficient method. We are using Samba with winbindd against a windows 2000 Domain

...indows ACL's when migrating to SAMBA Server Rightnow i got it half working but am having trouble with part of it. If I use robocopy, It copies the files and ACL but not the correct create of modify dates robocopy \\man_fs2\Batteries \\bed-fs1\servers\man_fs2\Batteries /sec /e If I use xxcopy I can copy all the files with the proper create and modify dates but it wont copy the ACL's. xxcopy \\man_fs2\Batteries \\bed-fs1\servers\man_fs2\Batteries /backup George On 12/12/2010 1:08 PM, Jeremy Allison wrote: On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 09:21:32AM -0600, Chris Weiss wrote:...

I'm using Samba 3.0204 on SUSE 10 as a backup for our file server. The file server contains over a million files in around 90000 directories. I use xxcopy from the file server to update the SUSE machine. In KDE System Guard the process table shows smbd creeping up towards 200MB at around halfway through the backup. The machine only has 256MB and becomes unusable around this point. What can I do about this? -- Ray Greene
