Contributor: Ricky Poulten Date: Unknown Status: Current Subject: Using smbtar ============================================================================= Please see the readme and the man page for general info. 1) Follow the samba installation instructions. 2) If all goes well, test it out by creating a share on your PC (called backup for example) then doing something like, ./smbtar -s mypc -t /dev/rmt/0ubn -x backup substituting whatever your tape drive is for the -t option, or set your tape environmental variable. If all does not go well, feel free to mail the author (poultenr@logica.co.uk) about bug reports / help / money / pizza / etc. 3) Read the man page and the NOTES file for more information 4) Work smbtar into your usual nightly backup scheme (presuming you have one :-}). NOTE: If you have problems with smbtar then it's probably best to contact the author Ricky Poulten (poultenr@logica.co.uk).
