[Samba] how to backup samba ad domain

[Jules Houantonon]

Hi all,

as for samba sernet installation, the etc direction is located in to /etc
and the private in to /var/lib/samba, as the sysvol to /var/lib/samba also,

i adjust the parameter FROMWHERE=/usr/local/samba to :

FROMWHERE=/etc/samba
FROMWHERE=/var/lib/samba/private
FROMWHERE=/usr/local/samba/sysvol
WHERE=/usr/local/backups

When I run the script , i receive a tar error that said :

tar refuse to create an empty file
Error while archiving /usr/local/backups/samba4_private.2016_7_26.tar.bz2
-status=2

I though /usr/local/backups is the destination for backup files that will
be created.
For me, It seems that the script is looking for files in /usr/local/backups
and as it is a empty directory, it is rejected.

Thank you for your time and helping

Regards
