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+. The application is included on the storage server device
from the following directory:
C:\hpnas\Components\ShadowCopyClient\XP and 2000-SP3+
No additional software is required to enable UNIX users to independently retrieve previous versions
of files stored on NFS shares.
