I have a file that I want to run daily to backup data. This tgz file then needs to be copied to a Windows 2003 server. I'm using smbclient, but it does not seem to work thru the script. Can someone point out where the problem lies. I run this as a cron job as follows:
30 19 * * 1,2,3,4,5 root /root/rubybackup.sh
The script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
# script to automate the backup of the Ruby server to the W2K3 server
#
DAY=`date +'%a-%d-%m-%y'`
BACKUPDIR=/backup
RUBYLIVE=/var/lib/mysql/
cd $RUBYLIVE
tar -czvf /backup/rubylive${DAY}.tgz ./rubylive
cd $BACKUPDIR
smbclient //server/backup tfc651800 -U administrator
put rubylive${DAY}.tgz
The recommended procedure for smbclient in scripts is to use the -c
option for the command string. In your case that would probably be
something like
smbclient //server/backup tfc651800 -U administrator -c "put rubylive${DAY}.tgz; exit"
Is it really necessary to use the administrator account for pushing a
backup file to the server?
