similar to: Backup of NT to Unix Tar

Hi! My suggestion: Use Amanda (www.amanda.org, cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda24 && make install with FreeBSD). It has support for smbtar. Haven't tried it myself, but I hear it's working fine. (I think I have seen a patch for gnu tar, that fixes the path length limit. I'm sure, though...) /Palle -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr?n: Tony Jones <tony@rtd.com> Till:

Ernie, Thanks for the great info.. Based on what you were seeing, would you suspect that part of the problem is with the combination of NT and the 3com card (3c595)? Currently, we are ONLY seeing this under NT Workstation (not server) and almost all of our machines have this same 3com 3c595 card (only if using 100BaseT).. -- Rick -----Original Message----- From: Ernie Oporto

Ok.. Just for the record, I STAND CORRECTED! The problem does appear to be NT.. The thing that irritated me was that nobody was interested in giving any backup data! Everyone just wanted to blindly admit that it must be NT. Ok.. Enuf bitching.. On to the better stuff... Anyway, David Mansfield and I are trying to narrow down the machine configurations where this happens.. Currently, we've

Hi all, Has anyone used amanda in combination with samba to back up an NT4 server system? I'm able to connect to the server with both smbclient and smbtar on the command line, but I can't get amanda to connect. Supposedly amanda uses smbclient and smbtar to perform the backups. I'm continually getting the following error from amcheck: ERROR: amanda: [PC SHARE //servername/share

I have been regularly crashing my NT boxen trying to back them up via an smbtar (smbclient). The crash is not complete - the network layer on NT goes away. You can still operate the console, but no net traffic. This is NT workstation and server 4.0 with sp3. The UNIX samba server is Solaris 2.5 with the latest samba version (1.9.18p8?) also with other samba versions. I tried updating the NT

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old

Hello. What do you suggest I should do if I wanted to mount a lot of windows-shares onto a linux machine and do a single tar backup on all the windows files onto a linux tape drive. There is NO free harddisk space on the linux machine, and it is only possible to store ONE backup session on the tape. I can only use smbtar for one client at a time, as I understand it. Please tell me if I'm

Hello, samba-users, I am using Amanda to backup WinNT-shares. Amanda uses smbclient to generate smbtar-archives which it then writes to tape. As you all know there are various files on Windows-system-partitions that don?t need to be on backup. For example stuff like pagefile.sys System Volume Information hiberfil.sys and the registry files. So there is a need to exclude files from getting

Hi all, I posted this to the list a few weeks ago but got no response. I'm running Amanda and smbtar and trying to back up some files on a Windows 2000 machine. I've verified that the files it's trying to back up are NOT open and permissions are fine for it to be backed up. This is a sample of the messages: ? code 0 opening remote file \ebsco-1064\cueanalysisnew.zip

I'm trying to do a backup of my Windows 2000 PC share thru the smbtar.

A collegue of mine has problems restoring files that are created with smbtar. I also tried it (using smbclient -T) and encountered the same problem. The tar file can be restored on unix without problem, but restoring them on a PC results in the following error messages: smbclient '\\jaap\temp' -Tx backup.tar Added interface ip=192.93.141.1 bcast=192.93.141.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Server

I have a prerelease version of Samba 2.0.4 running successfully on MacOSX Server with encrypted passwords and domain security. (Thanks to help from Bill Chin and others on the list, and Jeremy Allison and rest of the samba team) I have just started work on testing Samba as a NT domain member, and want to know if I have the right ideas from my reading of the docs: With security = domain, the Samba

Hi all, I am using Amanda and smbtar for backing up Windows machines. However, in addition to the errors I get on open files (which is to be expected), I am getting errors on files that should be fine to access. Here is a snippet from the Amanda log which contains smbclient errors: ? code 0 opening remote file \ebsco-1064\cueanalysisnew.zip (\ebsco-1064\) ? Expected SMBtrans2 response, got

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

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
