4.7. Shadow Copies for Shared Folders
Shadow Copies are accessed over the network by supported clients and
protocols. There are two sets of supported protocols, SMB and NFS. All
other protocols are not supported; this would include HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk,
and NetWare Shares. For SMB support a client side application denoted as
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders is required. The client side application is
currently only available for Windows XP and Windows 2000 SP3+.
No additional software is required to enable UNIX users to independently
retrieve previous versions of files stored on NFS shares.
Note
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders supports retrieval only of shadow copies of
network shares. It does not support retrieval of shadow copies of local folders.
Note
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders clients are not available for HTTP, FTP,
AppleTalk, or NetWare shares. Consequently, users of these protocols cannot use
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to independently retrieve previous versions of
their files. However, administrators can take advantage of Shadow Copies for
Shared Folders to restore files on behalf of these users.
4.7.1. SMB Access to Shadow Copies
Windows users can independently access previous versions of files stored
on SMB shares via the Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client. After the
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client is installed on the user's computer,
the user can access shadow copies for a share by right-clicking on the share
to open its Properties dialog, selecting the Previous Versions tab, and then
selecting the desired shadow copy. Users can view, copy, and restore all
available shadow copies.
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders preserves the permissions set in the
access control list (ACL) of the original folders and files. Consequently, users
can only access shadow copies for shares to which they have access. In
other words, if a user does not have access to a share, he also does not
have access to the share's shadow copies.
The Shadow Copies of Shared Folders client pack installs a Previous
Versions tab in the Properties dialog box of files and folders on network
shares.
