Copy files/folder locally to SMB share

[MatthewL]

I need to copy files in a folder i.e. /var/lib/unifi/backup/autobackups to a SMB share i.e. \\nas02\backup_unifi

 

I've looked at rync and rclone but struggling to get it working. Any suggestions how I can copy this and then to either run manually or setup a cron job.

on my very insecure Pi which handles logs, I use mount from "cifs-utils" and just mount the share in a script with my password in plaintext, if someones got to my Pi, they are in my room..

Can't get on my Pi as away from home but its something like this according to an old backup;

sudo mount -t cifs //172.16.18.100/filtlog /mnt/localfiltlogs -o user=username,password=password

 

The script then does something like

cp -r /etc/e2g/logs/. /localfiltlogs

 

I know I remove the mount afterwards because the Pi and server are rebooted often as test bits.

 

I will try to remember to look at my script but I won't be at that device for some time and this is from some old google doc I have from trying things before!

 

 

I do however have SMBv1 enabled because I am mildly unstable, and these machines have very restricted access so I am less worried.
