One common problem with modem PCs is that floppies and even CD-ROMs are often too small to use for backups. However, buying one tape drive per machine would also be silly. Consequently, many sites don't back up their PCs at all. Instead, they reinstall them using floppy disks and CD-ROMs when they fail.</p><P CLASS="para"> -Thankfully, Samba provides us with another option: you can back up PCs' data using the <I CLASS="filename"> -smbtar</i> tool. This can be done on a regular basis if you keep user data on your Samba system, or only occasionally, to save the local applications and configuration files and thus make repairs and reinstallations quicker.</p><P CLASS="para"> -To back up PCs from a Unix server, you need to do three things:</p><OL CLASS="orderedlist"> -<LI CLASS="listitem"> -<P CLASS="para"> -<A CLASS="listitem" NAME="ch08-pgfId-961555"> -</a>Ensure that File and Printer Sharing is installed on the PC and is bound to the TCP/IP protocol.</p></li><LI CLASS="listitem"> -<P CLASS="para"> -<A CLASS="listitem" NAME="ch08-pgfId-961564"> -</a>Explicitly share a disk on the PC so it can be read from the server.</p></li><LI CLASS="listitem"> -<P CLASS="para"> -<A CLASS="listitem" NAME="ch08-pgfId-961567"> -</a>Set up the backup scripts on the server.</p></li></ol><P CLASS="para"> -We'll use Windows 95/98 to illustrate the first two steps. Go to the Networking icon in the Control Panel window, and check that File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is currently listed in the top window, as shown in <A CLASS="xref" HREF="ch08_07.html#ch08-18303"> -Figure 8.2</a>. </p><H4 CLASS="figure"> -<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch08-18303"> -Figure 8.2: The Networking window</a></h4><IMG CLASS="graphic" SRC="figs/sam.0802.gif" ALT="Figure 8.2"><P CLASS="para"> -If "File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks" isn't installed, you can install it by clicking on the Add button on the Network panel. After pressing it, you will be asked what service to add. Select Service and move forward, and you will be asked for a vendor and a service to install. Finally, select "File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks," and click on Done to install the service.</p><P CLASS="para"> -Once you've installed "File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks," return to the Network panel and select the TCP/IP protocol that is tied to your Samba network adapter. Then, click on the Properties button and choose the Bindings tab at the top. You should see a dialog box similar to <A CLASS="xref" HREF="ch08_07.html#ch08-41042"> -Figure 8.3</a>. Here, you'll need to verify that the "File and Printer Sharing" checkbox is checked, giving it access to TCP/IP. At this point you can share disks with other machines on the net. </p><H4 CLASS="figure"> -<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch08-41042"> -Figure 8.3: TCP/IP Bindings</a></h4><IMG CLASS="graphic" SRC="figs/sam.0803.gif" ALT="Figure 8.3"><P CLASS="para"> -The next step is to share the disk you want to back up with the tape server. Go to My Computer and select, for example, the My Documents directory. Then right-click on the icon and select its Properties. This should yield the dialog box in <A CLASS="xref" HREF="ch08_07.html#ch08-64918"> -Figure 8.4</a>. </p><H4 CLASS="figure"> -<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch08-64918"> -Figure 8.4: My Documents Properties</a></h4><IMG CLASS="graphic" SRC="figs/sam.0804.gif" ALT="Figure 8.4"><P CLASS="para"> -Select the Sharing tab and turn file sharing on. You now have the choice to share the disk as read-only, read-write (Full), or either, each with separate password. This is the Windows 95/98 version, so it provides only share-level security. In this example, we made it read/write and set a password, as shown in <A CLASS="xref" HREF="ch08_07.html#ch08-29192"> -Figure 8.5</a>. When you enter the password and click on OK, you'll be prompted to re-enter it.
