Intro
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
sambatar is just a small extension to the smbclient program distributed with
|
|
samba. A basic front end shell script, smbtar, is provided as an interface
|
|
to the smbclient extensions.
|

Extensions
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This release adds the following extensions to smbclient,
|
|
|
|
tar [c|x] filename
|
|
creates or restores from a tar file. The tar file may be a tape
|
|
or a unix tar file. tar's behaviour is modified with the newer and tarmode
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
tarmode [full|inc|reset|noreset]
|
|
With no arguments, tarmode prints the current tar mode (by default full,
|
|
noreset). In full mode, every file is backed up during a tar command.
|
|
In incremental, only files with the dos archive bit set are backed up.
|
|
The archive bit is reset if in reset mode, or left untouched if in noreset.
|
|
In reset mode, the share has to be writable, which makes sambatar even
|
|
less secure. An alternative might be to use tarmode inc noreset which
|
|
would implement an "expanding incremental" backup (which some may prefer
|
|
anyway).
|
|
|
|
setmode <setmode string> filename
|
|
This is a "freebie" - nothing really to do with sambatar. This
|
|
is a crude attrib like command (only the other way around). Setmode string
|
|
is a combination of +-rhsa. So for example -rh would reset the read only
|
|
bit on filename.
|
|
|
|
newer filename
|
|
This is in fact part of the 1.9.13 samba distribution, but comes
|
|
into its own with sambatar. This causes tar (or get, mget, etc) to
|
|
only copy files newer than the specified file name. Could be used
|
|
against the previous nights (or whatever) log file to implement incremental
|
|
backups.
