Hai, but dont forget that if you use samba also as print server you need to backup the /var/lib/samba/drivers en printing also. ( and in my case a different folder. ) In /var/cache/samba is the file printer_list.tdb I dont think that recreated, and if it is, you probely will loose the printer settings. I'll have to look that up. Maybe its an option to let the backup scrip detect if it

Besides, obviously, the potential shared data on file servers, can't you just use the script that is introduced for backing up DCs? At least if the complete Samba installation is in "/usr/local/samba"... https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_restore_an_Samba_AD_DC Am 02.12.2015 um 20:06 schrieb Marc Muehlfeld: > Hello James, > > Am 02.12.2015 um 15:57 schrieb

Mark Ok so you doing the exact opposite of what the samba_backup script does with regards to ldb and tdb files, but then you are shutting down Samba to do a backup anyway so it doesn't really matter what you are doing in this regard. I want a consistent backup while Samba is running. Regards Mike On 2015-09-01 16:08, Mark Foley wrote: > Here's what I do before tar'ring: >

I have a few Samba 4.2 DC in production now and figured that I should do something about backups. I have read https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_restore_an_Samba_AD_DC and had a look through the samba_backup script and have a few questions. Firstly I am using the Sernet packages on Centos7. I am assuming the following mappings from the script for my set up /usr/local/samba/etc is

dear, I made the installation of Samba4 in centos6, now I need to back up the structure, tried using the script that samba.org offers more he is giving this error. See the error through the bash -x bash -x samba_backup.sh + FROMWHERE = / var / lib / samba + WHERE = / root / backups + '[' N '' ']' + '[' -n '' -a -d '' ']' + '[' -n

Ok, "sysvol" won't exist on member servers, of course. Besides that, are all relevant Samba databases located in "private"? -- Btw, regarding the use of the script for DCs: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_restore_an_Samba_AD_DC I have to cron this as root: 0 2 * * * root /usr/sbin/samba_backup And I have to put the full path to "tdbbackup"

Wanted to add that I am using STAR for incremental backups of ZFS snapshots on a member server while preserving ACLs with the -xattr parameter. It is pretty fast (uncompressed, of course). http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/star1.html Ole Am 09.12.2015 um 13:27 schrieb L.P.H. van Belle: > Hai, > > but dont forget that if you use samba also as print server > you need to backup the

the script is not complete. It isnt stopping samba and as the wiki says, DONT backup a running samba.

Mike, I thought I pretty much did the same thing as the backup script: backup ldb, do tar. Also, I am stopping Samba for good measure, but I don't think I need to. What makes you say I'm doing the "exact opposite" of what the samba script does? Please explain, I want to be consistent with good practice. --Mark -----Original Message----- > Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2015 19:19:31

Here's what I do before tar'ring: find / -mount -type d -path /etc/samba-JMF -prune -o -name \*.tdb -exec tdbbackup {} \; find / -mount -name \*.tdb.bak -exec ls -l {} \; # (log .bak updates) This gets all the tdb files on the root filesystem, excluding mounted drived (-mount) and excluding tdb files I have in /etc/samba-JMF which is an old installation folder that I should probably

Hello, (samba 4.0.8 compiled from git source) Just tried the samba_backup from https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_Recovery line 54 mention : tdbbackup $ldb where it should be /usr/local/samba/bin/tdbbackup $ldb Thanks for this nice samba version ! electronico

Hi, Samba-AD-DC is working great for us here. All integration working as expected. However one small issue. We attempted to use "samba_backup" script to backup the configuration data. It works fine. However, when we set it as a cronjob, the cron triggers at the given time during the day, but the samba_backup script fails to execute. No logs either. All other cronjobs, like rsync

and most important... If you have 2 DC's ... ! NEVER USE THE BACKUP SCRIPT TO RESTORE ONE OF THE DC's ! This wil corrupt your AD databases.. Just remove the old DC from the domain and add a new one if needed . .. Rowland. This is also a nice to have in your backup script. Auto detect multiple DC's, we have that already in other scripts. In case of multple DC's, backup
