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.
Snapshots can also be created and remove remotely, using the File Server
Remote VSS Protocol (FSRVP). Snapshot
creation
and deletion requests are forwarded to snapper via DBus.
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
For remote snapshot creation and deletion, Samba's FSRVP server must be
configured in the [global] section:
[global]
rpc_daemon:fssd = fork
registry shares = yes
include = registry
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.
Remote snapshot creation and deletion is only permitted by Samba for
Active Directory administrators, backup
operators,
or users explicitly granted SeBackupPrivilege. Snapper must also permit
creation and deletion for the appropriate
user,
via snapper's ALLOW_USERS or ALLOW_GROUPS options.
The DiskShadow.exe FSRVP client initially authenticates as the Active
Directory computer account. This account must
therefore be granted the same permissions as the user account issuing
the snapshot creation and deletion requests.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.3.0 of the Samba suite.
