Smb Shadow Copies - HP StoreEasy 1000 Administrator's Manual

Shadow Copies for Shared Folders is required. The client-side application is available for Windows
XP, Windows 2000 SP3+, and later operating system versions.
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.

SMB shadow copies

Windows users can independently access previous versions of files stored on SMB shares by using
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 window, clicking 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 for Shared Folders client pack installs a Previous Versions tab in the Properties
window of files and folders on network shares.
Users access shadow copies with Windows Explorer by selecting Open, Copy, or Restore from
the Previous Versions tab. (See
