Hello, samba-users, I am using Amanda to backup WinNT-shares. Amanda uses smbclient to generate smbtar-archives which it then writes to tape. As you all know there are various files on Windows-system-partitions that don?t need to be on backup. For example stuff like pagefile.sys System Volume Information hiberfil.sys and the registry files. So there is a need to exclude files from getting

At the bottom is what I got returned from AMANDA 2.3.0.5 after patching Samba 1.9.16p11 to give estimates. Any idea what I might not have done yet? My disklist reads: shokk \\thor\depot nocomp-user-gnutar To connect successfully to that server with smbclient, I have to do this, giving the same password that I now have in /etc/amandapass: smbclient \\\\THOR\\DEPOT -U BACKUP Also, the

Hi, I may have lost my first zpool, due to ... well, we''re not yet sure. The ''zpool import tank'' causes a panic -- one which I''m not even able to capture via savecore. I''m glad this happened when it did. At home I am in the process of moving all my data from a Linux NFS server to OpenSolaris. It''s something I''d been meaning to do

After the large update from 7.2 -> 7.3 there is one major problem, the amanda backup packages. Strange situation, the host is the amanda server is working fine at backing up all my remote clients. But it has an error backing up itself. The amanda packages did not change version (3.3.3) and I've done no configuration change. I'm not looking for help debugging this at the moment.

Anyone familiar with the selinux policy for the amanda backup software package? I'm getting lots of data not being backed up. For example, under /home there are 2 directory trees owned by root. Those get backed up, user home dirs do not. No AVC denials nor messages in /var/log/messages or journalctl log. But if I turn off selinux enforcing, or set amanda_t type to permissive, complete

Samba has a shadow_copy module to serve read-only snapshots to windows clients. I tried to use snapshotting in freebsd 5 (haven''t tried 6), but couldn''t get it stable. I''m really looking forward to getting it going on Solaris. Anyway you can read about the format of the link here: http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/VFS.html#id2618182 When it

All, I assume this issue is pretty old given the time ZFS has been around. I have tried searching the list but could not get understand the structure of how ZFS actually takes snapshot space into account. I have a user walter on whom I try to do the following ZFS operations bash-3.00# zfs get quota store/catB/home/walter NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE

Hello, I have a situation where a zfs file server holding lots of graphic files cannot be backed up daily with a full backup. My idea was initially to run a full backup on Sunday through the lto library on more dedicated tapes, then have an incremental backup run on daily tapes. Brainstorming on this, led me to the idea that I could actually stop thinking about incremental backups (that may always

I have an OpenSolaris snv_105 server at home that holds my photos, docs, music, etc, in a zfs pool. I backup my laptops with rsync to the OpenSolaris server. All of my important data is in one place, on the OpenSolaris server. I want to backup this data. I want to protect against losing my data, and I would also like to recover previous versions of files when I make mistakes. * I do not have a

There's an option to get selinux to report on all the 'don't audit' bits, which can be toggled on and off as needed. This may help in debugging.

Hello all, today I've been sitting at work and upgrading a very-very-very old server with RedHat Linux 6.2 installed up to CentOS 3.8. The process went smoothly, as it is not the first time I was doing the things like this. Just after upgrading I went to rpm -qai list and got an interesting observation: there are at least two "tar" utilities installed on the system. One is tar, and

Hello all, Sorry if you think that question is stupid, but i need to ask.. Imagine a normal situation on a NFS server with "N" client nodes. The objects of the shares is software (/usr/ for instance), and the admin wants to make available new versions of a few packages. So, would be nice if the admin could associate a NFS share and a ZFS snapshot? I mean, the admin have the option

Hi folks, I've got a bit of a different scenario than I imagine most, and have spent the last 60 or 90 minutes searching Amanda list archives and googling, but did not come up with anything much. Then I went browsing around the Amanda website and found "vaulting" and was wondering whether this would suit my needs. I'm basically searching around for a backup solution and

Hi, I want to take snapshots of a iSCSI devices from a target that hasn't snapshot/cloning capabilities (it's a Infortrend A16E storage array). What method are you using to make snapshots/clones of iSCSI targets using Open-iSCSI + CentOS? What about using Open-iSCSI + LVM snapshots system? For example: - Take a LVM snapshot in the initiator with "lvcreate". - Give read-only

Hello, I have a ZFS filesystem (zpool version 26 on Nexenta CP 3.01) which I''d like to rollback but it''s having an existential crisis.

I just received a special offer from Sun (marketing...) promising that I will learn "How to use ZFS snapshots for backup and restore purposes." The relevant doc is at... https://www.sun.com/offers/docs/zfs_snapshots.pdf It says: === Begin quote === Archiving and Restoring Snapshots Another use of snapshots is to create archives for long-term storage elsewhere. In the following

Hi, We have implemented a zfs files system for home directories and have enabled it with quotas+snapshots. However the snapshots are causing an issue with the user quotas. The default snapshot files go under ~username/.zfs/snapshot, which is a part of the user file system. So if the quota is 10G and the snapshots total to 2G, this adds to the disk space used by the user. Is there any turnaround
