Hey,
It seems that samba client could be used to back up Windows files. Am
I right?
To achieve this, I apt-get installed samba and set up it accordingly.
Below is my smb.conf file
/*==============Begin=============*/
[global]
workgroup = HWWKM
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins support = Yes
[KMOfficeShare]
comment = For backup
path = /home/samba
read only = No
/*========End===============*/
>From my Windows XP home edition's Network Neighborhood I can see
KMOfficeShare folder and can create file in it.
At my Windows XP home edition machine, I have set WINS server IP to
samba server IP and changed the workgroup to HWWKM for Windows
machine.
The smbclient -L gives me the below output:
/*============Smbclient Begin==================*/
hww-debian1:/etc/samba# smbclient -L localhost
Enter root's password:
Domain=[HWW-DEBIAN1] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.5]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.2.5)
KMOfficeShare Disk For backup
Domain=[HWW-DEBIAN1] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.5]
Server Comment
--------- -------
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
HWWKM HWW-DEBIAN1
/*============Smbclient end==================*/
The Windows XP machine (named hww-laptop) is not listed at all.
I'm runing Debian Lenny with Samba 3.2.5 installed. Can any of you
tell me what I need to do to be able to use smbclient to access the
Windows XP files and do the back up please? I really appreciate your
help.
Blessings,
Rocky
