Backup To Windows Box

Hi,

We have one server (RedHat 7.1) in our department that has websrvr and dB. We do not have a b/u device for this server.

I have been tasked with backing up one of our databases to a shared folder on a windows box. That box is backed up via Veritas NetBackup to our DLT jukebox (which I can't use because it doesn't support RedHat 7.1 -- as per Veritas).

Now, I can do this manually by tar + gzip the db, moving it to a samba share and then to the mapped folder. I don't want to do this though. (To much work...and I may forget).

How do I add a the windows folder as a device or a share of somekind to my departmental server? If I can do this, then I can set up a script in my cron tab to do all of this for me.

I would simply like to cpio or dump it over to this other machine.

Hopefully I've been clear enough on what my objective is.

Thanks in advance.

VJ
