CIFS Management
14
The
cifs
command manages CIFS (Common Internet File System) backups and restores from
and to Windows clients, and displays CIFS statistics and status. See “cifs” on page 206 for the
complete command syntax.
CIFS system messages on the restorer go to a CIFS log directory. The location is:
/ddvar/log/windows
Access from Windows to a Restorer
For access to the restorer command line interface, use the SSH (or TELNET if enabled) utility to
log into the restorer. For some administrative tasks, such as looking at or transferring a log file, you
can connect directly to the
/ddvar
share on the restorer. A Windows backup user account on a
backup client uses the
/backup
share on the restorer.
Note
When configuring a replica restorer as part of a Replicator pair, configure the authentication
mode, WINS server (if needed) and other entries as with the originator in the pair. The
exceptions are that a replica does not need a backup user and will probably have a different
backup server list (all machines that can access data that is on the replica).
Add a User
To add a user, use the command
user add user-name
. The command asks for a password and
confirmation or you can include the password as part of the command. CIFS users added to the
restorer can have a privilege level of
admin or user . The default is user .
user add user-name [password password ][priv admin | user ]
For example, to add a backup user with a name of backup22 , a password of usr256 , and user
privilege:
# user add backup22 password usr256
