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 for these users.
