Please see the readme and the man page for general info.

1) Get (ideally) samba version 1.9.13, gunzip and extract as usual.
Copy all of these patch files into the samba directory.

2) Type

  patch < allpat

This will patch the Makefile and client.c to include the tar extensions.

3) Follow the samba installation instructions.

4) If all goes well, test it out by creating a share on your PC (called
backup for example) then doing something like,

  ./smbtar -s mypc -t /dev/rmt/0ubn -x backup

substituting whatever your tape drive is for the -t option, or set your
tape environmental variable.

If all does not go well, feel free to mail the author (poultenr@logica.co.uk)
about bug reports / help / money / pizza / etc.

5) Read the man page and the NOTES file for more information

6) Work smbtar into your usual nightly backup scheme (presuming you
have one :-}).
