We are going to upgrade the samba version of the server. Currently we have 2.2.12 version and we are upgrading to the latest version. I have backed up all the samba related directories. But if we have to roll back for some problem from where i can get the 2.2.12 version to install it .
Pls suggest and also pls guide me with some docs regarding cifs upgradation

Thx and rgrds

Shalom,

CIFS can be upgraded in place. This should be done if you have customized any configuration files.

The standard best practices methodology is to back up the smb.conf file, swremove the old version and swinstall the new version.

This enables you to swremove the new version swinstall the old version and roll back.

I also recommend a make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery prior to the installation if this is a critical system.
