  • [Samba] Samba AD DC backup - again

    From Stanislav N. aka pztrn via samba@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 14 13:20:02 2017
    Hey list.

    I've searched all over last year conversations and it is (kinda) still
    unclear about backups.

    samba_backup script assumes that samba4 was installed from source, not
    from repository.

    https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/backup-script is too overfunctional for simple backup script. Really, I know how to write
    shell scripts, but sometimes have headaches reading them ☺

    The question is: is it enough to copy /var/lib/samba directory (with
    samba turned off), which contains:

    # ls /var/lib/samba/       
    account_policy.tdb  ntp_signd  private registry.tdb  share_info. tdb  sysvol  winbindd_cache.tdb  winbindd_privileged  wins.ldb

    And /etc/samba && /etc/krb5.conf, or it should do something else?

    Hai,

    I dont think its over functional, it includes everything you need for a good AD DC backup.

    This is about the minimal you should backup for an AD DC.
    If you want to backup samba when turned off. You need at least:
    /etc/samba
    /var/lib/samba
    /var/cache/samba
    /etc/krb*

    Check if sysvol is included in you backup and i also suggest an extra ACL backup of sysvol.

    !! Dont copy the /var/lib/samba when samba is running, you will get corrupted [l-t]db files !!

    Read: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Back_up_and_Restoring_a_Samba_AD_DC

    But the script is a "set and forget" and does all of above.
    Im using it over a year now, so can you explain what the problem is with the backup script.

    And i agree, its a "hard" to read script, so why not ..
    Just dont read it, get it, set it and enjoy it.
    If it does not work, report it on the list and we can try to help out.


    Greetz,

    Louis

    The wiki is based around the default used when Samba is compiled from
    a tarball. Distros put the Samba binaries etc into a lot of different
    places, you just need to work out where.
    Running 'samba -b' should help ;-)

    If you run : smbd -b | grep ": /"

    You see something like this :

    SBINDIR: /usr/sbin
    BINDIR: /usr/bin
    CONFIGFILE: /etc/samba/smb.conf
    LOGFILEBASE: /var/log/samba
    LMHOSTSFILE: /etc/samba/lmhosts

    MODULESDIR: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba
    LOCKDIR: /var/run/samba
    STATEDIR: /var/lib/samba
    CACHEDIR: /var/cache/samba
    PIDDIR: /var/run/samba
    SMB_PASSWD_FILE: /etc/samba/smbpasswd
    PRIVATE_DIR: /var/lib/samba/private
    CTDB_SOCKET: /var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.socket

    And your welkom.
