similar to: Thoughts on samba backup script for DCs

Hi list I recently encountered errors while trying to backup the samba4 AD. Apparently tar had some problems with sockets in the samba4 directory. I modified the samba4 backup script, perhaps this or a similar change is good to include upstream?

Hello, I'm using the 'samba_backup' script with the self compiled version. I noticed the retention period not being applied to etc and sysvol tar.bz2 files. Looking at the script it appears to only list the following at the end 'find $WHERE -name "samba4_*bz2" -mtime +$DAYS -exec rm {} \;' Can I also include the etc and sysvol tars in the command? Any

Hello, Looking to implement the backup script from the Wiki. I hit a snag at this part. *Because this script is very basic at the moment, there are some things to know, if you plan to use it unchanged: * ** * *The script doesn't backup extended ACLs. This results in that you'll lose the permissions e. g. on the SysVol share. If you have a tar version that supports the

Hi dear list members It's some time that we have issue regarding backup script of samba 4.0.10. It exits with error: "Error while archiving /home/a/samba-backup/samba4_private.121114.tar.bz2" After some troubleshooting, I noticed it is PROBABLY because of tar, issuing this warning with the exit code of 1: "tar: ./private: file changed as we read it" It is related to this

Hi, I am trying to backup a samba DC with the samba_backup script as described in https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_Recovery (BTW there's a typo in a chapter title which should be samba_backup instead of backup_samba) . It works ok except that it backups also all files in the ./lib/private/ dir , which are all library files. I suspect that it is wrong , isn't it ? Regards

Hai,   For the people using my modified backup script.  Found here: https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/backup-script    I've updated it, due to bug https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13088   netlogon_creds_cli.tdb will be excluded from the backup. Due to this the script exits and does not backup anything since netlogon_creds_cli.tdb is the first it wanted to backup. ( in

Hi, We installed a samba4 AD controller using Gpo for a small group of users (5 users), everything is OK. (Samba4 beta 7 on Ubuntu 12.04) We installed another Samba4 AD controller as a BDC of the first one with the command "samba-tool domain join" with succes. After checking this new installation, we saw that the sysvol share was not replicated from the PDC and all the Policies are

I am replacing my samba 4.1.9 with version 4.1.14. While tarring my /usr/local/samba in preparation for this I got a number of message about not being able to backup a socket. So I switched and used pax to create the tar archive. I got the same message in addition to the message about not backing up the socket I get messages like this: pax: ustar header field is too small for ./var/locks/sysvol/

Hi I have a process that creates 'some data' and outputs this to standard out and i want to shift this data over ssh to a remote box without ever writing anything locally.

I have been trying with $ tar

Dear Dirk, Yes, I know, however forget for one moment R. If I use tar independent of R it still should not create these hidden files. BTW, do you know where these hidden files are stored on the Mac?
