I have a couple C5 systems I want to back up. My plan is to, one way
or another, back them up to a C5 machine in my office. I have samba
installed on the systems to back up, the machines are mounted on the
system in my office, and a tape library hanging of the system in my
office.
I was hoping to perform a simple /sbin/dump of the remote systems. I
put together a script for another successful backup I have going on a
system with local filesystems. But for remote filesystems, I get
errors of File Cannot Be Accessed (//remote_system/subdir) which does
exist as an smb mounted filesystem.
I'd use NFS, but I would like a bit more control and some level of
encryption for the user authentication and data being transferred.
If a direct dump of remote smb filesystems isn't possible, I may opt
to have each system perform their own local dumps, then run a script
locally on the tape-connected machine to dump those local dumps, or
copy the dumps locally then dump them to tape.
If nothing else works, I can always install Windows XP and use Windows
backup program, but I'd really like to try and get this going under
Linux before going that route.
