Smb Shadow Copies - HP StoreEasy 1000 Administrator's Manual

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.
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
