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?

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.

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

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

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, possibly the author of the samba backup script will read this. I customized the script myself due to some things: 1. At the end the script looks for samba4_* files to rotate the backups. But only backups of the private folder get this prefix with the original script. sysvol and etc backups will remain. 2. The wiki of backup and restore advises to restore on the same version of samba the

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 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

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

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

Hi Louis, it doesn't say that at all, what it does say is this: Whilst you must never copy a running database, you can backup *.ldb & *.tdb files online with 'tdbbackup' This is a bit ambiguous, what it should say is: You

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

Hi to all, On Solaris 9 (and below I think), Samba 3.0.1pre1's tdbbackup now needs snprintf which is not included in Solaris.

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 googled a lot, but I have found no examples of the correct use of the tdbbackup program. I am looking for some advice on how to use tdbbackup. I mean, I know I can simply run "tdbbackup *.tdb", but I was looking for in-depth information on when and how to use it, about best practices on using it, or what NOT to do. The Samba documentations says I should run it in my start/stop
