Hi there ! I am having trouble to setup amanda to backup shares from a Windows 2000 server. I am not sure this is possible, (I suspect is not), so I am writing to get a confirmation that this is impossible and ask for suggestions to backup the windows 2000 shares. The PDC is a windows 2000 machine. it's NetBIOS name is kgbserver. The shares that I want to backup are named "//kgbserver/Others" and "//kgbserver/Docs". The amanda server is a RH9.0, with samba configured as security=DOMAIN . The samba NetBIOS name is KGBSERVER2.
This is why I think this could be a problem. The samba server is not the PDC for that domain. It is just a client for that domain. This makes any sense ? In the disklist file I put the following lines for the shares I want to backup: kgbserver2 //kgbserver/Others nocomp-user-gnutar kgbserver2 //kgbserver/Docs nocomp-user-gnutar The file /etc/amandapass was configured with the Administrator and password for the Windows machine: //kgbserver/Others administrator%ajjj882 KGB //kgbserver/Docs administrator%ajjj882 KGB On the amanda server (RH9.0) I can browse the Windows 2000's shares with smbclient, for example: # smbclient -L //kgbserver -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- ...etc... and browsing a specific share: # smbclient //kgbserver/Others -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] smb: \> ls .

As last resort, I configured Amanda to backup the mount point "/mnt/kgbserver/Others" and "/mnt/kgbserver/Docs" from the machine kgbserver2. These mount points are mounted at boot time via /etc/fstab using smbfs. Is there another better solution ? I will appreciated any ideas and comments. thank you gurus in advance, Amanda server: RH9.0, running 2.4.20-30.9. amanda version: 2.4.3-4 (from the rpm package) samba version: 2.2.7a release 8.9.0 (from the rpm package) -- Miguel Angelo Rozsas K3M Consultoria 19 3232 8886 --------------------------------------------------------------- Esta mensagem foi verificada pelo e-mail seguro Maxiweb.
