Status: Verified
GOAL:
Can be a database backup done via probkup be put on Samba network share ?
GOAL:
Can we use Samba network share for a probkup ?
GOAL:
Can we backup from UNIX to Windows using Samba network share ?
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
Since the command mount -t smbfs has a native OS support and the probkup is not a multi-user process but single process writing to a share, which fully supported / managed by OS calls. Therefore, both, probkup online or offline can be used writting the probackup to a Samba network share.
It's recommended to use -vp and/or -vf options within probkup in order to verify the backup files integrity.
