Topic: DAR2 i-bay restore - cannot login

[eastend99]

Hello,

I restored a daily backup that contained only data from one ibay.
I accidentally enabled the dr_restore (disaster recovery option). The backup file I restored did not contain system files and databases, only data from one specific ibay.

It is not possible to login workstations. No logins are accepted any more.
The server is 7.3 up-to-date. Shell is accessible as well as the server manager. The database looks okay through the server manager panel (groups, ibays, users, workgroup panel).

The messages log:

Before I start restoring from last weeks backup I would like try to repair this issue.
Anyone ideas how to find out whats wrong and/or restore the original situation?

If found the solution for the issue myself.
Made a full backup (just to be safe)
Did a full restore without the /home/e-smith folder (because this would overwrite already modified user data) and with Disaster Recovery enabled.
This is the folder list:

etc/e-smith/templates-custom
etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom
etc/group
etc/gshadow
etc/passwd
etc/samba/secrets.tdb
etc/samba/smbpasswd
etc/shadow
etc/smbpasswd
etc/ssh
etc/sudoers

I don't know what files are needed exactly, but after a reconfigure the system was restored.

Is this a bug in the backup script?
When DR has been enabled for a backup that does not include the (samba) config files, the restore removes the current (samba) config.
