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

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

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 a

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 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 (latest version) Data to backup is about 50GB

(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 the verify process started a message "Error: An

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 I tried it on Win2kSrv with exactly the same

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

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 mixed mode domain).

Here is a P2V challenge I could use some advice with. I have a source Windows 2003 physical machine that was upgraded several years ago from Windows 2000. 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

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 rsync the Samba shares to a local replica on

Hi all I have a CentOS 4.4 Kernel 2.6.9-11.EL Samba (smbd -V) 3.0.10-1.4E.9 I've been using this server as a small file server recently i needed to do a backup (ntbackup to file) and the backup fails randomly, the largest backup file i managed was about 3GBytes I tried copying large files and randomly the connection is lost I tried with a ping at the same time and the replies don't

Hello find /etc -size -1G should return all files less than 1Giga byte in /etc, but return a list of empty file (size=0) find /etc -size -2G work fine and return all the files This works the same on my fedora11 and my centos 5 !

Hello, I need to copy a huge amount of files and directories from a file server running Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 to a file server running Gentoo Linux 2005.1 and Samba-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

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

I just updated my web server box, running Debian testing, to samba v3, and am having some problems with a share. Can anyone advise me on this? I have a share called "allsrvr" which is defined in my smb.conf file as follows. Please note that security isn't an issue here. The server is connected to my home system via a VPN and all smb/cifs ports are closed to the world at the

Hi guys I downloaded and compiled the latest Wine verson and I got the following error msg from the Windoes Installer. The installer wizard fired up properly, asked a few questions and started to copy the application out when it returned an internal error 2352. Below is from the msievent.log. My .wine/config is the standard conf except for minor adjustment to /mnt/floppy and /mnt/cdrom.

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

I have been learning Rails and building small things over the last several months. Question I have that has been surprising difficult to figure out is this (I know it seems somewhat nonsensical but ignore that). I recently started getting a few requests for basic website to be built, small businesses, stores, even individual people. How would one about doing such a thing using Rails? I may not

Dear list, I recently updated my servers from 3.0.2 to 3.0.4. After that upgrade I discover a strange problem: I can mount/browse/whatever shares with Windows Explorer, MSIE, Firefox ... but I cannot use a mounted share with Macromedia Homesite. I can't see anything in my logs, I allways get a "Connection refused. Maybe you are not authorized to use this share."-message. I
