-============================================================================
-
-Intro
------
-
-sambatar is just a small extension to the smbclient program distributed with
-samba. A basic front end shell script, smbtar, is provided as an interface
-to the smbclient extensions.
-
-Extensions
-----------
-
-This release adds the following extensions to smbclient,
-
-tar [c|x] filename
- creates or restores from a tar file. The tar file may be a tape
-or a unix tar file. tar's behaviour is modified with the newer and tarmode
-commands.
-
-tarmode [full|inc|reset|noreset]
- With no arguments, tarmode prints the current tar mode (by default full,
-noreset). In full mode, every file is backed up during a tar command.
-In incremental, only files with the dos archive bit set are backed up.
-The archive bit is reset if in reset mode, or left untouched if in noreset.
-In reset mode, the share has to be writable, which makes sambatar even
-less secure. An alternative might be to use tarmode inc noreset which
-would implement an "expanding incremental" backup (which some may prefer
-anyway).
-
-setmode <setmode string> filename
- This is a "freebie" - nothing really to do with sambatar. This
-is a crude attrib like command (only the other way around). Setmode string
-is a combination of +-rhsa. So for example -rh would reset the read only
-bit on filename.
-
-newer filename
- This is in fact part of the 1.9.13 samba distribution, but comes
-into its own with sambatar. This causes tar (or get, mget, etc) to
-only copy files newer than the specified file name. Could be used
-against the previous nights (or whatever) log file to implement incremental
-backups.
