Manent 0.10.20 (Default branch)
Manent is an algorithmically strong backup and archival program. It features efficient backup to anything that looks like storage. Currently it supports plain filesystems ("directories"), FTP, and SFTP. Planned are Amazon S3, optical disks, and email (SMTP and IMAP). It can work (making progress towards finishing a backup) over a slow and unreliable network. It can offer online access to the contents of the backup. Backed up storage is completely encrypted. Backup is incremental, including changed parts of large files. Moved, renamed, and duplicate files will not require additional storage. Several computers can use the same storage for backup, automatically sharing data. Both very large and very small files are supported efficiently. Manent does not rely on timestamps of the remote system to detect changes. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release has fixes to make it work with Python 2.6. Image

vfs_shadow_copy

VFS_SHADOW_COPY(8)					    System Administration tools 					VFS_SHADOW_COPY(8)

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.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
