Hello! I am on the final stages of configuring our backup exec 10 software to speak to our Linux Redhat server. I just need a tad bit more help from you fine folks. If I recall we have Linux Redhat ver2.1.

How would I go about sharing ALL physical hard drives on the linux server? I am familiar with creating shares on the Linux box, but never had to share the entire hard drive. Can this be done securely? Basically I want to backup ALL hard drives on that Linux box which I think there is 2 phyiscal drives with a total of 4 partions me thinks. I basically need for my Windows 2000 server with the backup exec software to be able to see ALL contents of the Linux box so that I can backup every last piece of data from this server. Currently I can only see the shares that we have created, but would like to know how to be able to see the contents as mentioned above. Thank You for all your help so far! This forum rocks hardcore!-Vince

Sure, add the rest of the drives partitions to samba.

Just the entire drive? such as /dev/sda1 ? How do I ensure that only one domain administrator is the ONLY one who will be able to access the share? thanks!!

I think you can either limit the access via group permissions or in the samba.conf file itself, not sure to be honest(might be both), I do know he samba documentation is quite large and thorough, I suggest wading thru that for awhle and see what it says.
