I downloaded the corresponding script from the sources of my packaged samba version. But with the packaged samba installation, there is no /var/lib/samba/etc.



Am I right, that /etc/samba should be moved to /var/lib/samba/etc and be symlinked back to /etc for the backupscript to work?



I just don't know what's supposed to be in the /var/lib/samba/etc directory, s.t. the backup works out.



[EDIT]



  • It's ubuntu Xenial

  • The backup script is the one mentioned in the samba wiki at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Back_up_and_Restoring_a_Samba_AD_DC (take from the sources out of the git repo)

    No. /etc/samba/ should stay where it is. Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
