Hallo, Robert,

Du meintest am 16.02.11:

> Burned once and all that.  I am setting up rsync cron jobs to back up
> what I would need to completely rebuild the server.

> My PDC is running with security=user.  I know I have to backup:

> /home
> ..../netlogon
> ..../profiles
> /etc/passwd (and shadow, how to do this with rsync?)
> /etc/groups (ditto)

> What else?

Command:
        net getlocalsid > localsid.txt

Files:
     /etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb
     /etc/samba/private/secrets.tdb
     /etc/samba/smb.conf

(and/or perhaps the whole "/etc/samba" directory)

Do you use LDAP? Then there ist still more to backup.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
