VFS_SNAPPER(8)            System Administration tools           VFS_SNAPPER(8)


NAME

       vfs_snapper - Expose snapshots managed by snapper as shadow-copies


SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = snapper


DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(8) suite.

       The vfs_snapper VFS module exposes snapshots managed by snapper for use
       by Samba. This provides the ability for remote SMB clients to access
       shadow-copies via Windows Explorer using the "previous versions"
       dialog.

       This module is stackable.


CONFIGURATION

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

                     [share]
                     vfs objects = snapper


PERMISSIONS

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


VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 4.2.0 of the Samba suite.
