Mounting a Windows Active Directory Share from Linux

by faradhi . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

I have a Linux From Scratch box that provides two functions. One is an internal blog using WordPress. The other is OCS inventory.

I would like to backup both. Since they use MySQL databases and simple files this should be fairly simple with a script.

However, our backup server is a Windows 2003 server running BackupExec. Since I have only the two minor apps running on the linux server, I do not want to purchase a Linux client for BackupExec. Rather, I would just like to mount a share on one of the Windows servers and copy the backups using a script.

I am not concerned with a complete backup because I they are minor apps and the expected recovery time has been set for over a week in the case of a disaster.

My question is there a way to mount a Windows Network Share without installing Samba?

I would rather not install Samba and have another app I have to track for patches if I do not have to.
