Mount samba share on CentOS 6.3

Adapted from http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-samba-connect-share.html

   1 yum install cifs-utils
   2 mount -t cifs -o username=userx,password=passwordx //<servername>/<sharename> /mnt/point/

Add entry to /etc/fstab:

   1 //<servername>/<sharename> /mnt/point/ cifs  username=userx,password=passwordx,_netdev   0 0

Backup all files

File backup.sh:

   1 #!/bin/bash
   2 logfile=/mnt/point/backups`date '+%F'`.log
   3 datex=`date '+%FT%T'`
   4 hostx=`hostname`
   5 backfile=/mnt/point/"$hostx"_backup.tar.gz
   6 
   7 echo "$datex $hostx Log file: $logfile" >> $logfile
   8 echo "$datex $hostx Executing backup on /mnt/point" >> $logfile
   9 cd /
  10 rm $backfile
  11 echo "$datex $hostx Removed $backfile" >> $logfile
  12 tar cpzf $backfile --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --exclude=/media --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/lost+found  /  >> $logfile
  13 datex=`date '+%FT%T'`
  14 echo "$datex $hostx Ended backup on /mnt/point" >> $logfile

Add a crontab entry like @daily /home/userx/backup.sh.
