[Samba] how to backup samba ad domain

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Get the script from github.. 

https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/backup-script 

 

and only change these 2. 

 

This one is generated by the script, it speeds up the cron job. 

SCRIPT_COMMANDS_FILE="/etc/samba/backup_samba4_commands"

 

And the location of where your backups go. 

STOREDIR=/home/backups/`hostname –s`

 

Run it and it works ;-) , if not i ow you.. ;-)

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
