I don't even install the mount-cifs script. I simply put the share |
17 |
definition in /etc/fstab on the client, and then use the vanilla mount |
18 |
command. E.g., |
19 |
|
20 |
//192.168.0.2/backups /usr/local/remote_backups cifs |
21 |
noauto,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,user=root,pass=eetoot 0 0 |
22 |
|
23 |
[The above should be on 1 line.] |
24 |
|
25 |
Note that my real password for root is not "eetoot"; that is simply a |
26 |
fake password I set up for Samba shares. |
27 |
|
28 |
Whenever I need to transfer a backup archive to the server, I simply |
29 |
issue: |
30 |
mount /usr/local/remote_backups |
31 |
and then copy the data across. |
