vfs_shell_snap — Shell script callouts for snapshot creation and deletion
vfs objects = shell_snap
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 Remote VSS Protocol
(FSRVP).
The following shell callouts may be configured in smb.conf:
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.
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 successfully taken.
The command must output the path of the newly created snapshot to stdout.
Called when an FSRVP client wishes to delete a snapshot.
The command is called with
base_share_path and
snapshot_share_path
arguments.
The command must return 0 status if the snapshot was successfully removed.
All commands are executed as the authenticated FSRVP client user.
This module is stackable.
