NAME

6       vfs_snapper - Expose snapshots managed by snapper as shadow-copies
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = snapper
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(8) suite.
13
14       The vfs_snapper VFS module exposes snapshots managed by snapper for use
15       by Samba. This provides the ability for remote SMB clients to access
16       shadow-copies via Windows Explorer using the "previous versions"
17       dialog.
18
19       This module is stackable.
20

CONFIGURATION

22       The underlying share path must have a corresponding snapper
23       configuration file. The snapshot directory tree must allow access for
24       relavent users.

PERMISSIONS

31       Snapper stores snapshots under a .snapshots subdirectory. This
32       directory must permit traversal for any users wishing to access
33       snapshots via the Windows Explorer previous versions dialog. By
34       default, traversal is forbidden for all non-root users. Additionally,
35       users must be granted permission to list snapshots managed by snapper,
36       via snapper´s ALLOW_USERS or ALLOW_GROUPS options. Snapper can grant
37       these users and groups .snapshots traversal access automatically via
38       the SYNC_ACL option.

AUTHOR

44       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by

46       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
