similar to: Windows Backup to samba3 share = problem

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 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 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

Hello. We are having a really strange problem and I have been searching the net all day for a answer. We are trying to restore files from NTBackup to a Samba share using alternate pathing in ntbackup. The samba machine is a Solaris 8 machine with Samba 3.0.3 beeing a member of out AD domain. We map the samba share to Y:\ on the XP machine using a named account in AD, with a local

hi, i created a share called backup and it is wrightable for everyone but even so the windows gives me the access denied when using windows backup but i can acess normaly and create using windows explorer any ideas? using win2k

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 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 need to setup a CentOS box offsite to have a series of files replicated to it. My problem is this machine won't have Samba on it but I need to replicate the hierarchy in question in such a manner that I can restore from it and retain file system permissions. That's where I am stumped, anyone got any ideas? Thanks, jlc

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 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).

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, I'm having a problem copying large amounts of data from our Win2k3 server to a samba share on the samba server. I've turned debugging on in the smb.conf file all the way up to level 10 and I still do not see what is causing my file transfers to abort. It consistently aborts copying files as small as 10 gigs even. I've read through the performance tuning section in the

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

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

Now that we can gather diagnostic info, I think I know why our P2Vs kept failing last week. Another one just died right in front of my eyes. I think either the Ethernet or NFS server at this site occasionally "blips" offline when it gets busy and that messes up P2V migrations. The RHEV export domain is an NFS share offered by an old Storagetek NAS, connected over a 10/100 Ethernet.
