Name

tdbbackup — tool for backing up and for validating the integrity of samba .tdb files

Synopsis

tdbbackup [-s suffix] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the samba(1) suite.

tdbbackup is a tool that may be used to backup samba .tdb + files. This tool may also be used to verify the integrity of the .tdb files prior + to samba startup or during normal operation. If it finds file damage and it finds + a prior backup the backup file will be restored. +

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 can safely be run at any time. It was designed so + that it can be used at any time to validate the integrity of tdb files, even during Samba + operation. 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. Important 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. +
