Re: [Next3-devel] [opensuse] How to partitioning in unallocated disk space

[Amir G. <ami...@gm...>]

Hi Greg,

FYI, Ctera products have had the shadow copy feature from the first
days on NEXT3.
It is actually not do hard to set this up with samba.
It's just a matter of snapshots naming convention (date-time)
and of mounting the snapshots at the root of the share.

Cheers,
Amir.
