[Samba] Re: SAMBA Server

[Gary Heitman]

If you need to provide "Production" access to the files shares (meaning 
24/7 access for users, etc.), why not take a snapshot of the data you 
are going to put on CD?

Have a crontab rsync the data you want to burn to disk to some other 
"non-public" area, and then burn that area to disk.

You could very well create a routine to stop and start samba access, 
etc., however, from my experience, I'd prefer to stay "behind the 
scenes" and burden myself with the "rsync/copy, then burn", than to 
impose a scheduled 'outage' for the users ...

Just a thought ...
