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 administrator 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 (corrupt data) + which if detected causes the backup to be restored. + + + + + -n hashsize + + The -n option sets the hash size for the new backup tdb. + + + + + -l + + This options disables any locking, by passing TDB_NOLOCK + to tdb_open_ex(). Only use this for database files which + are not used by any other process! And also only if it is otherwise not + possible to open the database, e.g. databases which were created with + mutex locking. + + + + + + + + + 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. + + + + + + + VERSION + + This man page is correct for version 3 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 v1.2.3
