+.SH NAME
+smbtar \- shell script for backing up SMB/CIFS shares directly to UNIX tape drives
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+
+.nf
+\fBsmbtar\fR [-r] [-i] [-a] [-v] {-s server} [-p password] [-x services] [-X] [-N filename]
+ [-b blocksize] [-d directory] [-l loglevel] [-u user] [-t tape] {filenames}
+
+.fi
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+.PP
+This tool is part of the \fBSamba\fR(7) suite\&.
+
+.PP
+\fBsmbtar\fR is a very small shell script on top of \fBsmbclient\fR(1) which dumps SMB shares directly to tape\&.
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+.TP
+-s server
+The SMB/CIFS server that the share resides upon\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-x service
+The share name on the server to connect to\&. The default is "backup"\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-X
+Exclude mode\&. Exclude filenames\&.\&.\&. from tar create or restore\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-d directory
+Change to initial \fIdirectory \fR before restoring / backing up files\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-v
+Verbose mode\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-p password
+The password to use to access a share\&. Default: none
+
+
+.TP
+-u user
+The user id to connect as\&. Default: UNIX login name\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-a
+Reset DOS archive bit mode to indicate file has been archived\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-t tape
+Tape device\&. May be regular file or tape device\&. Default: \fI$TAPE\fR environmental variable; if not set, a file called \fItar\&.out \fR\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-b blocksize
+Blocking factor\&. Defaults to 20\&. See \fBtar(1)\fR for a fuller explanation\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-N filename
+Backup only files newer than filename\&. Could be used (for example) on a log file to implement incremental backups\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-i
+Incremental mode; tar files are only backed up if they have the archive bit set\&. The archive bit is reset after each file is read\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-r
+Restore\&. Files are restored to the share from the tar file\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-l log level
+Log (debug) level\&. Corresponds to the \fI-d\fR flag of \fBsmbclient\fR(1)\&.
+
+
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+
+.PP
+The \fI$TAPE\fR variable specifies the default tape device to write to\&. May be overridden with the -t option\&.
+
+.SH "BUGS"
+
+.PP
+The \fBsmbtar\fR script has different options from ordinary tar and from smbclient's tar command\&.
+
+.SH "CAVEATS"
+
+.PP
+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\&. smbtar works best with GNU tar and may not work well with other versions\&.
+
+.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
+
+.PP
+See the \fBDIAGNOSTICS\fR section for the \fBsmbclient\fR(1) command\&.
+
+.SH "VERSION"
+
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+
+.PP
+\fBsmbd\fR(8), \fBsmbclient\fR(1), \fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&.
+
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
+
+.PP
+Ricky Poulten wrote the tar extension and this man page\&. The \fBsmbtar\fR script was heavily rewritten and improved by Martin Kraemer\&. Many thanks to everyone who suggested extensions, improvements, bug fixes, etc\&. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
