Hi, Does anyone have experience with BackupExec and Samba? BackupExec refuse to access Samba shares. Windows shares are OK, but all my Samba shares are not. I have Samba on at least 2 Linux 2.4 machines + 1 on Solaris. Neither ones work with BExec. Any idea? Other have experience with BExec and Samba? Thanks a lot -jec _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Jean-Eric Cuendet

Is there an improved BackupExec Unix agent available that works with Samba? If not, can someone tell me how to work around the lack of the archive bit that Linux has? In particular, RedHat Linux 7.2 is the system I'm looking for help on. I found the following hints in an older version of this newsletter, Samba Digest, Vol. 3, Issue 34, sent March 21, 2003, that had this in it: Yes, we have

Hi, I've got Samba 2.0.2 and a server NT4 SP3 with Seagate BackupExec 7.0. When I want to backup Samba with Seagate BackupExec, I get a message saying "Unable to connect to server, <F5> to retry", and then another one saying "A device specific error occured". I've read all the Samba archive about that subject, but I do not find any solution. I don't

Hello, I've compiled and configured Samba 1.9.18p8 on a DEC Alpha running DEC Unix 4.0b for the express purpose of enabling a Windows NT 4.0 server running Seagate BackupExec software to be able to see my Unix filesystems as NT shares and back them up (as of this time BackupExec does not support DEC Unix clients). Test backups have worked OK, but I'm having problems restoring the

Hello, There has been some whispers about considering migrating our mail systems to Exchange Server. I want to try to nip this in the bud. I would like to ask for some help with providing some kind of comparison of large(r) commercial companies use of email systems... specifically, those using Microsoft Exchange Server, vs those using open source Linux/Unix based systems, including even

If you can see the server, but not shares, you most likely have not published any directories. What version of the BE agent are you using? I've noticed 4.6 works well (the install actually works well and will walk you through the setup to publish the directories to be backed up). It's often easier to just publish root (but exclude /proc /tmp). Also, I've found out that in the hosts

In trying to track down some performance issues, I'm finding with Ethereal that, when I launch an application from my Windows server, the SMB Read AndX Request packets have Min Count, Max Count Low, and Remaining all at 512 bytes. When launching the same application on the same client from a Win2000 share, these requests are coming in much larger sizes (4096 and 32768 were both observed). This

Anyone know the reason RHEL bumped Samba from 3.5.10 to 3.6.9? This version has a regression with BackupExec and Veeam backing up to network shares. I receive access denied errors. Samba is in security=user mode and not joined to a domain. If I downgrade just the Samba packages to the CentOS 6.3 version 3.5.10 everything works again. I've found a couple of bug reports and the one suggested fix

I have a controller method called update_all that grabs parameters for about 30 form fields and saves them to the database. My current code looks to see if there is a string in params[] for each form field (two fields for each SelfEvaluationItem) and saves the updated self_evaluation_answer if a string is available. Since this is iterated code, I am almost certain that this generates 30 or so

hi, it?s me again :( i?m still not able to use idmap_rid in a trusted domain environment (samba v3.0.20b Sernet). well, to be clear: NSS is not working (id, getent passwd <user>, ...) so samba does not find the posix information for any user from a foreign domain it?s working in a single domain with ##################################### # WINBIND - Settings idmap backend =

I notice that there's a lot of code in LLVM core libraries that is wildly inconsistent in formatting. Two particular things come to mind: -- Capitalization of method names. The LLVM guidelines say one thing, but a lot of recent code (such as IRBuilder) consistently does the opposite of what the guidelines say. One has to wonder which source of truth is more authoritative - after all, the docs

Hi, wbinfo -Y BUILTIN\group can work without idmap_rid in Samba-3.0.14a. But I'm experiencing wbinfo -Y with idmap_rid failed for SID to GID conversion of BUILTIN groups. Since idmap_rid only works in a single domain, and captures workgroup's domain sid as a real domain sid in rid_idmap_get_domains(), when running "wbinfo -Y BUILTIN/System Operators", the function

Hi Franck, to my knowledge, the Backup Exec service "runs" under a certain user. In most cases it is the user who installed it, so very often "Administrator". Now if you try to backup a Samba share, Backup Exec tries to retrieve the files of this share and has to authenticate to the Samba Server. I suspect it will do this with the "credentials" of the user the Backup
