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

Hi, Using old samba_backup with 4.4.x a paramter can be defined to keep some copies of backup and purge automatically. I'm searching same option with new samba backup offline or online, but I can't find, where is it? Thanks

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, Can anyone help me? I'm having trouble backing up the Samba4. When I run the command /usr/sbin/samba_backup, it brings the following error: Error while archiving /usr/local/backups/samba4_private.210513.tar.bz2 Thanks, Rodrigo

I just installed samba4 on ubuntu 14.04 from de repositories: # samba --version Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu I wanted to make a backup but *samba_backup* was missing, so I download 4.1.7 using Git and configured it. The problem is it isn't working, tar is stopping because it refuses to create and empty file. I tracked it to the second *tar* in the script, and *echoed* it: # samba_backup

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

Hallo, i tried to backup samba4 by using the samba_backup script. I removed ?>/dev/null 2>&1?-Pipe from the tar-commands. Tar could not archive the temporary msg-files, because they where open. My question is, do I need the temporary msg-files for a complete samba4 database-backup? Thank you. tar: ./private/smbd.tmp/msg/msg.31043.1: socket ignored tar:

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 about 10 months that we have setup our samba 4.0.10 and using it as the only domain controller and LDAP server (please note that our server's hardware crashed 10 months ago and we did restore a bit old backups and rejoin all computers to the domain). To backup the samba database, I stop samba service at 2:00 AM every night and backup using samba_backup script

I access e-mail from different PCs, typically using Thunderbird e-mail client. Thunderbird has a a "retention policy" it can set on a folder by folder basis. Policies such as how long to keep messages for, or how many messages to keep. Is there a way to set those policies on the server itself? Thank you

Using outlook 2010 as mail client, I have noticed that once an email is moved from inbox, it is deleted from the cur/ directory on the server. Is there a pop3 setting on dovecot that would keep emails, with possible retention period, and recognize that this email has been moved from inbox, etc.. If all of this is doable, would setting outlook to delete the email after 14 days work? delete email

Hello All, I am in the United States where we have e-discovery rules. Some organizations have to retain data for a certain amount of time, others are required to have a data retention policy. This means that while it should probably be possible for a user to "delete" an email so they do not see it. The server needs to store it, possibly in a tree that mirrors the folder setup of

I am currently using dovecot 0.99.14p1 on OpenBSD 3.8, mbox format, procmail+sendmail MTA. I subscribe to quite a few mailing lists and currently have procmail sorting mail into the proper mboxes. I was hoping there would be some sort of retention policy feature built in to dovecot. I want to delete mail more than X days old from X folders. I have combed the documentation, list archives, and

Hi, im trying to work out my backup with a monthly retention, wondering how i could keep a backup that is 30 days old all the time...i mean....if i rsync the daily backup today with the monthly one in 30 days the monthly will be the monthly backup but the day of the rsync will not be 30 days old, the only option i see is have 3 backed up files rotating every two months to at least keep a 30 days
