Hi all, I'm just looking at using smbtar to backup the Win95 PC's on my network, and would like usability ideas please. The tape drive I intend to use is in our RS6000 and has a capacity of 20GB before compression which means that I will be able to fit plenty of PC's onto one tape as all the PC's have <3GB HD's on them. The problem I have is how do I get multiple

Hello, I'm using Samba version 1.9.18p10. I am trying to backup a Win95 disk with smbtar, but it skips lots of files without any apparant reason. For example, I have a directory C:\Acrobat3, with various subdirectories. With smbclient I can see and browse them just fine: smb: \> cd Acrobat3 smb: \Acrobat3\> dir . D 0 Wed Aug 19

I am having trouble getting SMBTAR to do a complete backup on NT Workstation and NT Server. The backup starts off just fine. However, after a short time, errors begin showing up and files are not backed up. The files that are missed are not open files. I have set the -t option to disk and tape. I get pretty much the same result. Both NT machines have over 2 GB of data to backup up. I am

Hello. I'm trying to use smbtar/smbclient (2.0.3) to copy an NTFS share on an NT Server, onto a Solaris 2.5 system. The NTFS partition is 10Gb. At the 2Gb mark, the tar stops. No errors, the file just stops. The process (smbtar) returns. Is this a problem with Solaris 2.5 ? I believe it is, and if I upgrade to 2.6, I can create larger tar files. However, does anyone know if

Hello Family, In yesterday's head thumper I had to attempt to (remotely) grab some wedding photo's for my wife from my Win2000 machine to Solaris-8 running Samba-2.2.2 The examples show the following; smbtar -s dumbo -t /dev/st0 -x windows That assumes your backing up a directory, the directory is on your (windows) C:\WINDOWS I just needed a few jpg's from another drive on my

I install Samba 2.0.7 on my HP 715-80 running HPUX 10.20. The HP server and two PC's are connected on a local LAN. I can map network, move files, etc. However, when I try to use smbtar I get an error. The unix server is hobbs, the two PC's are calvin and marmaduke. The C: drive on calvin is named drive_c and set for share r/w. I can use tar from the cmd line on the unix 'puter to

I am having trouble using tar (or gtar) to recover files built using smbtar and smbclient (v2.0.4b). The files are loaded on an exabtye tape - the script runs on a Sun/Solaris-7 box and the files being tar'd are on an NT box (v4sp5). There are no error messages when the tape is built, but when I try to read it tar will just stop about 1/3 of the way in (total size is about 850MB). After

I was using smbtar to test backing up an NT server, everything works fine except that for quite a lot of the files it has an error downloading them(probably 2/3 of them actually). All it says is : Error reading file \dir\dir\file. Got 0 bytes Didn't get entire file. size=533, nread=0 I could see this happening if the file were opened exclusively such as the paging file, but to my knowledge

To all, Can SambaTar backup multiple "pc's" at once ? I have 5 Win95 machines with 9 different drive partitions. What would be the proper syntax ( if any) to specify multiple pc and multiple share names ? I would like to do one complete backup on a single 4mm DAT tape. Is there a better way to do this using Samba ? I am using Samba version 1.9.17p4 running on Sun Solaris 2.5.1

Hi all, I want to move a filesystem off of my NT server over to my Network Appliance NFS server to then be shared via Samba. I assume the easiest way to accomplish this would be to use smbtar. Do I then use smbtar to extract the tar file I create with smbtar, or, can I use gnutar? Does it matter? Am I safer sticking with smbtar? I'm guessing that since smbtar is a wrapper around

Hi. My friend has a problem that smbtar cannot recognize space character in specified filenames. He tried to execute following command line to back file "long file name" up: $ smbtar -s SERVER -p PASSWORD -x SHARE -u username -t /tmp/backup.tar \ "long file name" but smbtar tried to include three files as 'long', 'file' and 'name'. :-( Here is the

I am attempting to pipe the output of smbtar into gzip in a script. The problem that I have is that smbtar echo's out "Params count: 11" before sending the information out to gzip. This causes the tar file to have a "tar: directory checksum error" error. Is there any way I can get smbtar not to report the Params count? The following is the command I am using.

Hi all, Situation: We use smbtar for backups, incrementals done using -N <last date file>, and this has worked well with samba 2.2.x After upgrading to 3.0b3, using the -N (newer) option to smbtar causes a bad interaction with smbclient. Eg,: # smbtar -s PC -x Share -u User -p Pwd -d / -t - -N last-backup -v gives (if you print out the eval at the end of smbtar script): eval
