Hello,

I have been tasked to create backups of our Zenoss environment, and back them up to disk and tape. I have successfully created a cron job to backup our Zenoss environment. My problem is getting those backups to a Windows share. I have Samba installed, but I am having issue seeing the shares on the Windows server. I know this does not have to do with Zenoss itself, I was hoping that someone on this forum has dealt with this before and can point me in the right direction on this issue.

Samba adds another layer of complexity, why not script WinSCP to grab it via the already running ssh server?

To go a little further down Andrew's route what we do is have the backup agent on the Zenoss host. So we have zenbackup dump to a "backup" folder locally and the backup agent running on the zenoss box shovels it to tape, without any middle men.

Our Zenoss install is on a virtual machine and does not have a tape device directly attached to it. Which is unfortunately why I need the middle men.

We dont have a tape physically attached either. Most decent backup softwares have the concept of a "remote" agent. So a machine with the tape attached, can communicate with the remote node, thus removing the need for file copying hoops.

Also, if you're a Windows shop, you could probably do something with smbclient from the Linux side to push to a Windows file share...

That is what I am trying to use, but I cannot see the Windows share. I get an access denied. Apparently Windows 2008 does not allow anonymous connection.

When I do that, I still get an access denied. This is what I use (minus account and share information): //<IP address of NAS box 192.168.x.y>/<shared folder>     /<mount point>     cifs     user=<user on NAS>,pass=<passwd on NAS>

try these

mount -t cifs //<IP address of NAS box 192.168.x.y>/<shared folder>  /<mount point>   -o  user=<user on NAS>,pass=<passwd on NAS>,domain=<domain>

mount.cifs //<IP address of NAS box 192.168.x.y>/<shared folder>  /<mount point>   -o  user=<user on NAS>,pass=<passwd on NAS>,domain=<domain>

Thank you for your reply. The first command worked. I was missing the domain= parameter on my original command. Thank you again for your help.
