Where can I see samba registry share configuration from a system backup that's not running

  • 772

I have a backup of all files/folders from a Linux install that had Samba running and some shares.

This installation was using the registry for configuring the shares so they are not in /etc/samba/smb.conf.

Where can I go to find the settings/shares that were configured? I can't boot into this system so that's not an option.

samba

    The registry data should be saved under /var/lib/samba/ in the "trivial database" files *.tdb

    You can check the contents of that files with a tdbtool.

    It should be possible to restore /etc/samba/smb.conf and /var/lib/samba/* to some other linux box and check the complete configuration using sudo testparm.
