Backup
 

Dear All

Few days back i made samba to go live in my organization. Which is working beautifully without any problem.

As of now i am taking the backup of users home directories and common shares and smb.conf. But one thing which is scratching me is:-->

Suppose the server crashes then what other files or directories are to be backed up so that after clean installation of server and full restoration of files and directories all the users and their data should be appear without doing the labour of creating the users again.

Kindly Guide.

In terms of samba:
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group
and your smbpasswd file

You may also want to backup your network config files but it isn't really needed as you can probably remember your ip address etc
