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. + +.SH SEE ALSO +.B smbclient +(8), +.B smb.conf +(8) +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +See diagnostics for +.B smbclient +command. + +.SH CREDITS +The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@anu.edu.au).
