I am running veritas, and I needed to install a UNIX AGENT from veritas on the linux box. It didnt make much sense to me that I couldn't just do a backup through the samba share...

However, you must use a DOMAIN Account(not unix account), ie. MYDOMAIN\Administrator. You could map a temporary drive from NT lie this: net use t: \\sambaserver\backupshare password /user:mydomain\Administrator A problem is the area of file permissions and ACLS. First of all your backup account must have read permission to this share for this to work. Secondly I am quite certain that a restore with Arcserve will not have the correct permissions /acls. I get around this by using "tar -cp" to make a first unix backup capturing permission settings. Arcserve then simply collects the tar files from this share. If you use ACLs you need to use a different unix utility like "star" or "xfsdump" (if you use an XFS file system). Some versions of Arcserve can only backup local files... hope this helps -------FROM------------------------------- Patrick Niessen IT-Manager / Planning & Controlling Gerling Allgemeine Versicherungs-AG, Japan Branch fQ[fSf"fOEfAf<fQf}fCfl*OE?Z "-{Zx"X TEL. +81-3-5214-1361 / FAX. +81-3-5214-1365 URL: http://www.gerling.co.jp > > Message: 18 > From: "Norman Zhang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 16:40:40 -0800 > Subject: [Samba] Backup Samba Using ARCServe > > Hi, > > Has anyone have success backing up Samba share using > ARCServe?
