This tool may also be used to verify the integrity of the .tdb files prior + to samba startup, in which case, if it find file damage and it finds a prior backup + it will restore the backup file. + + + + + + OPTIONS + + + + + -h + + Get help information. + + + + + -s suffix + + The -s option allows the adminisistrator to specify a file + backup extension. This way it is possible to keep a history of tdb backup + files by using a new suffix for each backup. + + + + + -v + + The -v will check the database for damages (currupt data) + which if detected causes the backup to be restored. + + + + + + + + + COMMANDS + + GENERAL INFORMATION + + + The tdbbackup utility should be run as soon as samba has shut down. + Do NOT run this command on a live database. Typical usage for the command will be: + + + tdbbackup [-s suffix] *.tdb + + + Before restarting samba the following command may be run to validate .tdb files: + + + tdbbackup -v [-s suffix] *.tdb + + + Samba .tdb files are stored in various locations, be sure to run backup all + .tdb file on the system. Imporatant files includes: + + + + + secrets.tdb - usual location is in the /usr/local/samba/private + directory, or on some systems in /etc/samba. + + + + passdb.tdb - usual location is in the /usr/local/samba/private + directory, or on some systems in /etc/samba. + + + + *.tdb located in the /usr/local/samba/var directory or on some + systems in the /var/cache or /var/lib/samba directories. + + + + + + + VERSION + + This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite. + + + + AUTHOR + + + 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. + + + The tdbbackup man page was written by John H Terpstra. + + + -- cgit
