Re: Problems using amanda to backup SMB shares
2006-07-11 11:55:37
Example configuration (all of the files below need to be owned by user
"amanda"):
The AMANDA client software and Samba is installed on host
"amanda_server_host". A share to be backed up called "share" is on PC
"my-laptop". The share will be accessed via PC user "testing" and
password "testing" and using a workgroup "workgroup".
1. The entry in the file disklist is:
amanda_server_host //my-laptop/share comp-user-tar
2. In /etc/amandapass (chmod this file to "700" ) on the machine
'amanda_server_host':
//my-laptop/share testing%testing workgroup
3. /etc/amandates needs to be owned by the "amanda" user and group "disk" and
have the permissions below:
-rw-r----- 1 amanda disk 35 Jul 8 19:01 amandates
4. run amcheck again and post the results

I'm a first-time amanda user, trying to backup a linux machine and a
few windows shares. I went through the tutorial at
amanda.zmanda.com/quick-backup-setup.html, modifying things to fit my
setup. The linux machine seems to be ok, but I'm getting some errors
with the SMB share.
The windows machine in question is lens, and the backup server is
penguin2. On penguin2, I have a disklist entry like this:
penguin2.genartsi.com //lens/c comp-user-tar
When I run amcheck, I get the following errors:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: penguin2.genartsi.com: [samba access error: //lens/c: Error
connecting to 192.168.0.43 (Permission denied): Connection to lens
failed: returned 1]
ERROR: penguin2.genartsi.com: [can not read/write /etc/amandates:
Permission denied]
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.136 seconds, 2 problems found
Looking in selfcheck.debug, I see that it's running smbclient like this:
smbclient \\lens\c -U amanda -E -c quit
When I run the same command manually, it prompts for a password, and
when I enter that it connects fine. But I don't see how amanda is
giving this password to smbclient (since it obviously can't prompt for
it). Maybe that's the problem?
As for the second problem, I don't see anything in the .debug files
that gives me a clue. The permissions for /etc/amandates look like this:
-rw-r----- 1 amandabackup disk 0 Jul 10 17:20 /etc/amandates
Any ideas?
Thanks.
