Hi All,
I need to back up Windows systems (both full and incremental). The
majority of what needs to be backed up is large word and excel files.
Can these be compressed? Since they are SMB mounts, should I use client
or server side compression? Below is an example of what I think I need,
but any pointers are more than welcome.
Thanks,
Kenny
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
index yes
dumpcycle 5 weeks
}
define dumptype samba {
comment "Windows NetBIOS filesystem"
program "GNUTAR"
}
define dumptype windows-full {
global
samba
priority high
compress client best
}
define dumptype windows-incremental {
global
samba
priority high
compress client best
}
