+ <a href="samba.7.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">samba</span>(7)</span></a> suite.</p><p>The <code class="literal">vfs_shadow_copy</code> VFS module functionality
+ that is similar to Microsoft Shadow Copy services. When setup properly,
+ this module allows Microsoft Shadow Copy clients to browse
+ "shadow copies" on Samba shares.
+ </p><p>This module is stackable.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id259322"></a><h2>CONFIGURATION</h2><p><code class="literal">vfs_shadow_copy</code> relies on a filesystem
+ snapshot implementation. Many common filesystems have native
+ support for this.
+ </p><p>Filesystem snapshots must be mounted on
+ specially named directories in order to be recognized by
+ <code class="literal">vfs_shadow_copy</code>. The snapshot mount points must
+ be immediate children of a the directory being shared.</p><p>The snapshot naming convention is @GMT-YYYY.MM.DD-hh.mm.ss,
+ where:
+ </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><code class="literal">YYYY</code> is the 4 digit year</p></li><li><p><code class="literal">MM</code> is the 2 digit month</p></li><li><p><code class="literal">DD</code> is the 2 digit day</p></li><li><p><code class="literal">hh</code> is the 2 digit hour</p></li><li><p><code class="literal">mm</code> is the 2 digit minute</p></li><li><p><code class="literal">ss</code> is the 2 digit second.</p></li></ul></div><p>
+ </p><p>The <code class="literal">vfs_shadow_copy</code> snapshot naming convention can be produced with the following
+ <a href="date.1.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">date</span>(1)</span></a> command:
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+ TZ=GMT date +@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S

+ <em class="parameter"><code>[homes]</code></em>
+ <a class="indexterm" name="id259415"></a>vfs objects = shadow_copy
+</pre></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id259424"></a><h2>CAVEATS</h2><p>This is not a backup, archival, or version control solution.
+ </p><p>With Samba or Windows servers,
+ <code class="literal">vfs_shadow_copy</code> is designed to be an end-user
+ tool only. It does not replace or enhance your backup and
+ archival solutions and should in no way be considered as
+ such. Additionally, if you need version control, implement a
+ version control system.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id260361"></a><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id260371"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
+ were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed

+ to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</p></div></div></body></html>
