NAME

       vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = readonly

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The vfs_readonly VFS module marks a share as read only for all clients connecting within the configured time period. Clients connecting
       during this time will be denied write access to all files in the share, irrespective of their actual access privileges.

       This module is stackable.

OPTIONS

       readonly:period = BEGIN, END
	   Only mark the share as read only if the client connection was made between the times marked by the BEGIN and END date specifiers. The
	   syntax of these date specifiers is the same as that accepted by the -d option of GNU date(1).

EXAMPLES

       Mark all shares read only:

		   [global]
		vfs objects = readonly

       Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours:

		   [backup]
		path = /readonly
		vfs objects = readonly
		readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00"

NAME

       vfs_shadow_copy - Make a Samba share read only for a specified time period

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = shadow_copy

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The vfs_shadow_copy VFS module functionality that is similar to Microsoft Shadow Copy services. When setup properly, this module allows
       Microsoft Shadow Copy clients to browse "shadow copies" on Samba shares.

       This module is stackable.

CONFIGURATION

       vfs_shadow_copy relies on a filesystem snapshot implementation. Many common filesystems have native support for this.

       Filesystem snapshots must be mounted on specially named directories in order to be recognized by vfs_shadow_copy. The snapshot mount points
       must be immediate children of a the directory being shared.

       The snapshot naming convention is @GMT-YYYY.MM.DD-hh.mm.ss, where:

       o   YYYY is the 4 digit year

       o   MM is the 2 digit month

       o   DD is the 2 digit day

       o   hh is the 2 digit hour

       o   mm is the 2 digit minute

       o   ss is the 2 digit second.

       The vfs_shadow_copy snapshot naming convention can be produced with the following date(1) command:

		TZ=GMT date +@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S

EXAMPLES

       Add shadow copy support to user home directories:

		   [homes]
		vfs objects = shadow_copy

CAVEATS

       This is not a backup, archival, or version control solution.

       With Samba or Windows servers, vfs_shadow_copy is designed to be an end-user tool only. It does not replace or enhance your backup and
       archival solutions and should in no way be considered as such. Additionally, if you need version control, implement a version control
       system.
