Making a CIFS share shadow copy aware

Veritas Access Administrator's Guide

Shadow Copy (Volume Snapshot Service or Volume Shadow Copy Service or VSS) is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that allows taking manual or automatic backup copies or snapshots of data on a specific volume at a specific point in time over regular intervals.

To make a CIFS share shadow copy aware

  • Add the CIFS export option shadow_copy to the CIFS share.

    For example:

    CIFS> share add fs1 share1 rw,shadow_copy
                      
    
    CIFS> share show share1
