-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This program is an extension to the Samba suite.
-
-.B smbtar
-is a very small shell script on top of
-.BR smbclient ,
-which dumps SMB shares directly to tape.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.B \-s
-.I server
-.RS 3
-The PC that the share resides upon.
-.RE
-
-.B \-x
-.I service
-.RS 3
-The share name on the PC to connect to. Default:
-.I backup.
-.RE
-
-.B \-X
-.RS 3
-Exclude mode. Exclude
-.I filenames...
-from tar create or restore.
-.RE
-
-.B \-d
-.I directory
-.RS 3
-Change to initial
-.I directory
-before restoring / backing up files.
-.RE
-
-.B \-v
-.RS 3
-Verbose mode.
-.RE
-
-.B \-p
-.I password
-
-.RS 3
-The password to use to access a share. Default: none
-.RE
-
-.B \-u
-.I user
-.RS 3
-The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.
-.RE
-
-.B \-t
-.I tape
-.RS 3
-Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: Tape environmental
-variable; if not set, a file called
-.IR tar.out .
-.RE
-
-.B \-b
-.I blocksize
-.RS 3
-Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See
-.BR tar (1)
-for a fuller explanation.
-.RE
-
-.B \-N
-.I filename
-.RS 3
-Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log
-file to implement incremental backups.
-.RE
-
-.B \-i
-.RS 3
-Incremental mode; tar files are only backed up if they have the
-archive bit set. The archive bit is reset after each file is read.
-.RE
-
-.B \-r
-.RS 3
-Restore. Files are restored to the share from the tar file.
-.RE
-
-.B \-l
-.I log level
-.RS 3
-Log (debug) level. Corresponds to
-.B \-d
-flag of
-.BR smbclient (1).
-.RE
-.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-The TAPE variable specifies the default tape device to write to. May
-be overridden with the
-.B \-t
-option.
-.SH BUGS
-The
-.B smbtar
-script has different options from ordinary tar and tar
-called from
-.BR smbclient .
-.SH CAVEATS
-Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way
-the script handles PC passwords. Backup and restore work on entire shares,
-should work on file lists. smbtar works best with GNU tar and may
-not work well with other versions.
-.SH VERSION
-This man page is correct for version 1.9.15p8 of the Samba suite.

-of the Source for this project.
