SMB/cifs not working with crontab
 

Hi all.

I would like to ask you one important question. that I've install smb with cifs for backup purpose. and along with cifs I'm trying to send server backup from one serve to another server we've already mounted a drive on storage server Please see the below given E.g.

Samba install properly and share one folder <imp>
after that mount -t cifs //servername/folder /mnt -o username=username,password=password,

Than setup a crondtab so that whatever i can setup automatic back from on server to second server.
//192.168.0.*/backup /mnt /bin/tar -czf /mnt/*/Website_all_$($date).tar.gz /var/www/*/*

Same thing working on another server perfectly but that server is running under centos 5.6 and problematic server is running under centos 6.2.

Please suggest me ..I'm working on it from last one week and still waiting for my win.

I understand that you are trying to do a backup to a CIFS share.

Can you tell us what's in the crontab?
Also, what is this line supposed to mean:
What doesn't work?
What are the symptoms (for example, error messages)?
Why do you use CIFS and not a Linux-native filesystem like NFS?

Sorry My concern have been sorted And there was some issue with the B server where I was trying to send the data through cifs.

Thanks for your help.
