It should not be run by users directly\&. It uses smbclient to backup and restore data\&. .PP The device name in the disklist must have the form \'//CIFSHOST/SHARE/SUBDIR\' where CIFSHOST is the CIFS host containing the data to be backed up, SHARE is the share to connect, and subdir is the subdirectory to backup\&. \'/subdir\' can be ommited, in which case the complete share is archived\&. .PP Unlike most applications, amsamba backs up and restores data located on a different system from that where amsamba itself runs\&. The host containing the data is the CIFS host\&. In practice, amsamba is usually run on the same system as the Amanda server, with a DLE like .sp .nf localhost "//CIFSHOST/SHARENAME" amsamba\-dumptype .fi .PP Include or exclude can be used, but not both\&. The path for \'exclude list\' or \'include list\' must be absolute path on the CIFS host\&. The estimate calculates the complete size of the share, without regard for include or exclude directives\&. It will be larger than the actual dump if you use include or exclude\&. Using \'estimate server\' in the dumptype could give better estimate\&. .SH "PROPERTIES" .PP This section lists the properties that control amsamba\'s functionality\&. See \fBamanda-applications\fR(7) for information on application properties and how they are configured\&. .PP SMBCLIENT\-PATH .RS 4 The path to the smbclient binary\&. The default is set when Amanda is built by the \-\-with\-smbclient configure option\&. .RE .PP GNUTAR\-PATH .RS 4 The path to the gnutar binary\&. The default is set when Amanda is built by the \-\-with\-gnutar configure option\&. gnutar is used to create the index\&. .RE .PP AMANDAPASS .RS 4 Location of the amandapass file, defaulting to "$CONFIG_DIR/amandapass"\&. Relative pathnames are relative to the configuration directory, "$CONFIG_DIR/"\&. Note that this file is located on the client, not on the server\&. The format of the file is as follow: .nf Sharename User%Password Domain .fi Sharename is \'//HOST/SHARE\' without the SUBDIR\&. Sharename can be quoted, it can be \'*\' to match all share, it can be \'//pc\-host/*\' to match all share on pc\-host\&. User is the username use to connect to the share\&. Password is the password use to connect to the share\&. \'%Password\' is optional if the user can connect to the share without password\&. \'User%Password\' is optional, the user \'guest\' without password is use to connect to the share\&. Domain is optional\&. Example: .nf //another\-pc/share otheruser%otherpw domain //another\-pc/share otheruser%otherpw //another\-pc/share myuser mydomain //another\-pc/share myuser //another\-pc/share .fi .RE .PP ALLOW\-ANONYMOUS .RS 4 This username without password is used to connect to the share if no matching entry is found in the amandapass file\&. .RE .PP DIRECTORY .RS 4 For restore command only, the data is recoved in that directory\&. Must be a unix path for "tar" RECOVER\-MODE or a smb path for "smb" recover\-MODE\&. .RE .PP RECOVER\-MODE .RS 4 "tar" or "smb", default to "tar"\&. If "tar", the data is recovered on the local machine, If "smb", the data is recovered on the smb client machine\&. .RE .SH "INCLUDE AND EXCLUDE LISTS" .PP This application supplies exclude lists via the \fBsmbclient\fR \fB\-TX\fR option\&. Normal shell\-style wildcard expressions, using * and ?, are not supported\&. All expressions are matched only from the base directory of the DLE\&. Expressions that match a directory may have a leading or trailing "/"\&. Example expressions: .sp .nf \&./temp\-files # exclude top\-level dir "temp\-files" entirely \&./temp\-files/ # same /temp\-files # same temp\-files # same \&./temp\-files/* # BAD: does nothing *\&.iso # BAD: does nothing proxy/local/cache # exclude "cache" in dir "proxy/local" .fi .PP Include lists are supported only if excludes are not given\&. They are handled via the \fBsmbclient\fR \fB\-TI\fR option\&. Include matching is identical to the exclude matching described above\&. .SH "EXAMPLE" .nf define application app_amsamba { property "SMBCLIENT\-PATH" "/usr/bin/smbclient" property "GNUTAR\-PATH" "/bin/tar" property "AMANDAPASS" /etc/amandapass" property "ALLOW\-ANONYMOUS" "guest" } .fi .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBamanda\fR(8), \fBamanda.conf\fR(5), \fBamanda-applications\fR(7) .PP The Amanda Wiki: : http://wiki.zmanda.com/ .SH "AUTHOR" .PP \fBJean\-Louis Martineau\fR <\&martineau@zmanda\&.com\&> .RS 4 Zmanda, Inc\&.
