=== Description ===
This contrib uses dar (http://dar.linux.free.fr) to create a feature rich backup system for smeserver 7.x. It adds a server-manager panel (Backup > Disk ARchive) to define, schedule and launch server backups and restores, to and from network shares or an attached local disk.
This contrib uses dar (http://dar.linux.free.fr) to create a feature rich backup system for smeserver 7.x.

==== Manual restore of DAR2 configuration ====
It is possible to selectively restore the DAR2 configuration (backup job settings etc) from a full system backup.
Firstly install the DAR2 contrib on a new server, which will of course have no backup jobs configured.
Then look at the backup file in the backup target location and find a file called db.zip. Extract the dar2 db file and copy it to /home/e-smith/db on the new server, to restore the previous DAR2 configuration.
===Known issue===
====Cifs Error====
When using the included backup functionality, or the DAR2 contrib, backing up to a windows remote share generates the following cifs errors. see [[bugzilla:7341]]
Feb 12 11:51:25 sme e-smith-bg: Connecting /mnt/dar2/backup to \\192.168.10.30\bkp
Feb 12 11:51:25 sme kernel: CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -12
Feb 12 11:51:25 sme kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -12
Feb 12 11:51:25 sme e-smith-bg: mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
Feb 12 11:51:25 sme e-smith-bg: Refer to the mount.cifs
The solution could be to modify the windows registry by the file below
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"Size"=dword:00000003
Save the content above in a file with the name W7-backup.reg and import it in the windows registry, restart the service or the Windows computer
