Hi there !
I am having trouble to setup amanda to backup shares from a
Windows 2000 server. I am not sure this is possible, (I suspect is
not), so I am writing to get a confirmation that this is impossible
and ask for suggestions to backup the windows 2000 shares.
The PDC is a windows 2000 machine. it's NetBIOS name is
kgbserver. The shares that I want to backup are named
"//kgbserver/Others" and "//kgbserver/Docs".
The amanda server is a RH9.0, with samba configured as
security=DOMAIN . The samba NetBIOS name is KGBSERVER2.
This is why I think this could be a problem. The samba
server is not the PDC for that domain. It is just a client for that
domain. This makes any sense ?
In the disklist file I put the following lines for the
shares I want to backup:
kgbserver2 //kgbserver/Others nocomp-user-gnutar
kgbserver2 //kgbserver/Docs nocomp-user-gnutar
The file /etc/amandapass was configured with the
Administrator and password for the Windows machine:
//kgbserver/Others administrator%ajjj882 KGB
//kgbserver/Docs administrator%ajjj882 KGB
On the amanda server (RH9.0) I can browse the Windows 2000's
shares with smbclient, for example:
# smbclient -L //kgbserver -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB
added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
Sharename Type Comment

...etc... and browsing a specific share:
# smbclient //kgbserver/Others -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB
added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

...etc....
...and even smbtar work fine:
# cd /tmp
# smbtar -s kgbserver -u administrator%ajjj882 -x Others -t
others.tar
# tar -tvf others.tar
...etc...
...and amcheck works fine too:
# /bin/su - amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck -c DialySet1"
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 10.682 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3)
The amdump fail with the following message:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
planner: ERROR Request to kgbserver2 timed out.
.... and from DUMP summary:
DUMP SUMMARY:
DUMPER STATS TAPER

KB/s
-------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------
kgbserver2 -ver/Others MISSING --------------------------------------
kgbserver2 -erver/Docs MISSING --------------------------------------
Is this setup really impossible ?
As last resort, I configured Amanda to backup the mount
point "/mnt/kgbserver/Others" and "/mnt/kgbserver/Docs" from the
machine kgbserver2.
These mount points are mounted at boot time via /etc/fstab using
smbfs.
Is there another better solution ?
I will appreciated any ideas and comments.
thank you gurus in advance,
Amanda server: RH9.0, running 2.4.20-30.9.
amanda version: 2.4.3-4 (from the rpm package)
samba version: 2.2.7a release 8.9.0 (from the rpm package)
