NAMEsmbtar − shell script for backing up SMB/CIFS shares directly to UNIX tape drives
SYNOPSISsmbtar [−r] [−i] [−a] [−v] {−s server} [−p password] [−x services] [−X] [−N filename] [−b blocksize] [−d directory] [−l loglevel] [−u user] [−t tape] {filenames}
DESCRIPTIONThis tool is part of the samba(7) suite​. smbtar is a very small shell script on top of smbclient(1) which dumps SMB shares directly to tape​.
OPTIONS−s server The SMB/CIFS server that the share resides upon​. −x service The share name on the server to connect to​. The default is "backup"​. −X Exclude mode​. Exclude filenames​.​.​. from tar create or restore​. −d directory Change to initial directory before restoring / backing up files​. −v Verbose mode​. −p password The password to use to access a share​. Default: none −u user The user id to connect as​. Default: UNIX login name​. −a Reset DOS archive bit mode to indicate file has been archived​. −t tape Tape device​. May be regular file or tape device​. Default: $TAPE environmental variable; if not set, a file called tar​.out​. −b blocksize Blocking factor​. Defaults to 20​. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation​. −N filename Backup only files newer than filename​. Could be used (for example) on a log file to implement incremental backups​. −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​. −r Restore​. Files are restored to the share from the tar file​. −l log level Log (debug) level​. Corresponds to the −d flag of smbclient(1)​.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLESThe $TAPE variable specifies the default tape device to write to​. May be overridden with the −t option​.
BUGSThe smbtar script has different options from ordinary tar and from smbclient's tar command​.
CAVEATSSites 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​.
DIAGNOSTICSSee the DIAGNOSTICS section for the smbclient(1) command​.
VERSIONThis man page is part of version 4​.18​.1 of the Samba suite​.

AUTHORThe 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​. Ricky Poulten wrote the tar extension and this man page​. The smbtar 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​. 0
