Hello, I want to back up files of a Windows 2000 client via SMB from a Linux Server (Suse 10.1). Windows Client named client, IP 192.168.0.129 Linux Server named linuxserver, IP 192.168.0.134
Then I found http://wiki.dirvish.org/?SmbMount Backing up Windows machines using smbclient You can use the pre-server and post-server options in your dirvish.conf to mount and umount Windows shares. Your c:\ folder must be exported (as read only, of course). client: localhost tree: /mnt/dirvish/<mymachinename>/ pre-server: /usr/local/bin/mount-win-share <mymachinename> username=<myuser> password=<mypass> ip=mymachinenameorip post-server: /usr/local/bin/umount-win-share <mymachinename> The password option is just an example. You are better off using password files, etc. MY QUESTIONS: 1.What is <mymachinename>? The Windows client named client I guess in my case? So I replace <mymachinename> by the word client? Correct? The <myuser> is the windows 2000 user who has read only access onto the exported folde c:\? 2.Can someone please send me an example of a working master.conf and default.conf? My current master.conf in /etc/dirvish/ is: bank: /var/baks client: localhost log: none tree: /mnt/dirvish/client/ Dirvish: /usr/local/sbin/dirvish index: none pre-server: /usr/local/bin/mount-win-share client username=tc2backup password=xxxx ip=192.168.0.129 Runall: client post-server: /usr/local/bin/umount-win-share client My current default.conf in /var/baks/client/dirvish is: client: 192.168.0.134 tree: /mnt/dirvish/client/ The error I get: linuxserver:/var/baks # /usr/local/sbin/dirvish -vault data -init cannot open config file: default.conf Thanks in advance Bastian _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
