default tape device to write to. May be overridden
with the -t option. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>BUGS</h2><p>The <b>smbtar</b> script has different
options from ordinary tar and from smbclient's tar command. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>CAVEATS</h2><p>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. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>DIAGNOSTICS</h2><p>See the <span class="emphasis"><em>DIAGNOSTICS</em></span> section for the <a href="smbclient.1.html">smbclient(1)</a> command.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of

wrote the tar extension and this man page. The <b>smbtar</b>
script was heavily rewritten and improved by <a href="mailto:Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de" target="_top">Martin Kraemer</a>. 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 <a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/" target="_top">
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</a>) 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.</p></div></div></body></html>
