NAME


smbtar - shell script for backing up SMB/CIFS shares directly to UNIX tape drives

SYNOPSIS


smbtar [-r] [-i] [-a] [-v] {-s server} [-p password] [-x services] [-X] [-N filename]
[-b blocksize] [-d directory] [-l loglevel] [-u user] [-t tape] {filenames}

DESCRIPTION


This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

smbtar is a very small shell script on top of smbclient(1) which dumps SMB shares directly
to tape.

OPTIONS


-s server
The SMB/CIFS server that the share resides upon.

-x service
The share name on the server to connect to. The default is "backup".

-X
Exclude mode. Exclude filenames... from tar create or restore.

-d directory
Change to initial directory before restoring / backing up files.

-v
Verbose mode.

-p password
The password to use to access a share. Default: none

-u user
The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.

-a
Reset DOS archive bit mode to indicate file has been archived.

-t tape
Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: $TAPE environmental
variable; if not set, a file called tar.out.

-b blocksize
Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation.

-N filename
Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log file to
implement incremental backups.

-i
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.

-r
Restore. Files are restored to the share from the tar file.

-l log level
Log (debug) level. Corresponds to the -d flag of smbclient(1).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES


The $TAPE variable specifies the default tape device to write to. May be overridden with
the -t option.
