Timur I. Bakeyev 2daf87ac19 net/samba416: New port for Samba 4.16
This is an initial attempt to add Samba to the FreeBSD after major
rewrite of the VFS code in the upstream.

Most of the port development is now carried in:

     https://gitlab.com/samba-freebsd

Due to the way how new Samba VFS code is written there is a constrain
that Samba 4.14+ can run only on FreeBSD 13.1+, as it requires support
of the `nodup` option for the `fdesc` file system, as well as it's
presence in the system in general.

    https://gitlab.com/samba-freebsd/-/wikis/The-New-VFS

I'd like to thank CyberSecure Pty Ltd. company for their supoort of
the port development and Andrew Walker from iXsystems Inc. for the
patches he created and made available for the Samba4 on TrueNAS.

.SH "NAME"
smbtar \- shell script for backing up SMB/CIFS shares directly to UNIX tape drives
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
smbtar [\-r] [\-i] [\-a] [\-v] {\-s\ server} [\-p\ password] [\-x\ services] [\-X] [\-N\ filename] [\-b\ blocksize] [\-d\ directory] [\-l\ loglevel] [\-u\ user] [\-t\ tape] {filenames}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This tool is part of the

.RS 4
The SMB/CIFS server that the share resides upon\&.
.RE
.PP
\-x service
.RS 4
The share name on the server to connect to\&. The default is "backup"\&.
.RE
.PP
\-X
.RS 4
Exclude mode\&. Exclude filenames\&.\&.\&. from tar create or restore\&.

.RE
.PP
\-a
.RS 4
Reset DOS archive bit mode to indicate file has been archived\&.
.RE
.PP
\-t tape
.RS 4
Tape device\&. May be regular file or tape device\&. Default:
\fI$TAPE\fR
environmental variable; if not set, a file called
tar\&.out\&.
.RE
.PP
\-b blocksize
.RS 4
Blocking factor\&. Defaults to 20\&. See
tar(1)
for a fuller explanation\&.
.RE
.PP
\-N filename
.RS 4
Backup only files newer than filename\&. Could be used (for example) on a log file to implement incremental backups\&.
.RE
.PP
\-i

variable specifies the default tape device to write to\&. May be overridden with the \-t option\&.
.SH "BUGS"
.PP
The
smbtar
script has different options from ordinary tar and from smbclient\*(Aqs tar command\&.
.SH "CAVEATS"
.PP
Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way the script handles PC passwords\&. Backup and restore work on entire shares; should work on file lists\&. smbtar works best with GNU tar and may not work well with other versions\&.

section for the
\fBsmbclient\fR(1)
command\&.

\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
.PP
Ricky Poulten
wrote the tar extension and this man page\&. The
smbtar
script was heavily rewritten and improved by
Martin Kraemer\&. Many thanks to everyone who suggested extensions, improvements, bug fixes, etc\&. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
ftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
