use amanda to back up to space on the server's hard drive? all the
documentation is about tapes, tapes, tapes. i have a set of windows
machines that i just want to back up over samba to /backups on hda.
how do i do that?
thanks,
I feel your pain...I just recently went through this...I think the main
reason that there isn't a lot of documentation is because most of
getting amanda backing up with samba is setting up samba. Once you have
samba set up, put an amanda user on the windows machine with the
necessary permissions. Verify that the user can indeed see the system
(smbclient -U amanda%password -L smbhost). Once your sure of that,
follow the instructions in the samba readme in $SRC_DIR/docs/SAMBA.
The biggest problem I ran into was configuring samba properly and adding
the machine to the proper domains but if you don't use domains, it may
be easier to set up.
