<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This VFS module is part of the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
<para>
The <command>vfs_snapper</command> 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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
This module is stackable.
</para>

<title>CONFIGURATION</title>
<para>
The underlying share path must have a corresponding snapper
configuration file. The snapshot directory tree must allow
access for relevant users.
</para>
<programlisting>
<smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
<smbconfoption name="vfs objects">snapper</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>
<para>
For remote snapshot creation and deletion, Samba's FSRVP
server must be configured in the [global] section:
</para>
<programlisting>
<smbconfsection name="[global]"/>
<smbconfoption name="registry shares">yes</smbconfoption>
<smbconfoption name="include">registry</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>PERMISSIONS</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>

<title>VERSION</title>
<para>
This man page is part of version &doc.version; of the Samba suite.
</para>

<refsect1>
<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
