+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is an extension to the Samba suite.
+
+.B smbtar
+is a very small shell script on top of smbclient, which dumps SMB
+shares directly to tape.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B \-s
+.I server
+.RS 3
+The PC that the share resides upon.
+.RE
+
+.B \-x
+.I service
+.RS 3
+The share name on the PC to connect to. Default:
+.I backup.
+.RE
+
+.B \-X
+.RS 3
+Exclude mode. Exclude
+.I filenames...
+from tar create or restore.
+.RE
+
+.B \-d
+.I directory
+.RS 3
+Change to initial
+.I directory
+before restoring / backing up files.
+.RE
+
+.B \-v
+.RS 3
+Verbose mode.
+.RE
+
+.B \-p
+.I password
+
+.RS 3
+The password to use to access a share. Default: none
+.RE
+
+.B \-u
+.I user
+.RS 3
+The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.
+.RE
+
+.B \-t
+.I tape
+.RS 3
+Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: Tape environmental
+variable; if not set, a file called
+.I tar.out.
+.RE
+
+.B \-b
+.I blocksize
+.RS 3
+Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation.
+.RE
+
+.B \-N
+.I filename
+.RS 3
+Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log
+file to implement incremental backups.
+.RE
+
+.B \-i
+.RS 3
+Incremental mode; tar files are only backed up if they have the
+archive bit set. The archive bit is reset after each file is read.
+.RE
+
+.B \-r
+.RS 3
+Restore. Files are restored to the share from the tar file.
+.RE
+
+.B \-l
+.RS 3
+Debug level. Corresponds to -d flag on smbclient(1).
+.RE
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+The TAPE variable specifies the default tape device to write to. May
+be overidden with the -t option.
+
+.SH BUGS
+The smbtar script has different options from ordinary tar and tar
+called from smbclient.
+
+.SH CAVEATS
+Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way
+the script handles PC passwords. Backup and restore work on entire shares,
+should work on file lists.
+
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is correct for version 1.9.15p8 of the Samba suite.
+
