What kind of clients? If it's NT/Win2k/XP, you could use the "at" service to run a batch file...use robocopy or scopy to do the transfer...

I know using smbclient or smbtar can backup data on PCs to samba server, but it is written in tar files.I wonder whether this method can handle a large folder, say, in 10GB size. Also, using smbclient with mget and recurse on, one can copy folders from PC to samba server. But in doing so, it is in interactive mode and keeps asking yes/no to continue. Is there a way to get rid of these prompts? Thanks, Tian. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
