Hi,

After testing samba4 for few days (works great !!), i'm planning to run
it as production server for 20 XP clients.

I'm looking for a way to backup all data of the samba4 domain in order
to restore them after a crash or a bad update.

So, if saving the smb.conf in samba3 was enough, what are the files to
backup in samba4 ?

thanks for advices

It isn't enough to just save the smb.conf in Samba3, and similarly in
Samba4 you must save the databases.

See source4/scripting/bin/samba_backup for a script to help with this.
