VFS_SHELL_SNAP(8) System Administration tools VFS_SHELL_SNAP(8) NAME vfs_shell_snap - Shell script callouts for snapshot creation and deletion SYNOPSIS vfs objects = shell_snap DESCRIPTION This VFS module is part of the samba(8) suite. The vfs_shell_snap VFS provides shell-script callouts for snapshot creation and deletion operations issued by remote clients using the File Server Re- mote VSS Protocol (FSRVP). The following shell callouts may be configured in smb.conf: shell_snap:check path command * Called when an FSRVP client wishes to check whether a given share supports snapshot create/delete requests. * The command is called with a single share_path argument. * The command must return 0 if share_path is capable of being snapshotted. shell_snap:create command * Called when an FSRVP client wishes to create a snapshot. * The command is called with a single share_path argument. * The command must return 0 status if the snapshot was success- fully taken. * The command must output the path of the newly created snapshot to stdout. shell_snap:delete command * Called when an FSRVP client wishes to delete a snapshot. * The command is called with base_share_path and snap- shot_share_path arguments. * The command must return 0 status if the snapshot was success- fully removed. All commands are executed as the authenticated FSRVP client user. This module is stackable.
