<pre wrap="">I'd like to hear what happens with your shadow copy testing. I've been
looking into it for my win2003 replacement on which we use Shadow Copy.
How does btrfs relate to samba's vfs option?</pre>

There is a dedicated VFS that uses btrfs, <a

with Samba 4.1.0</a>.<br>

<pre wrap=""> I had not even thought of
using btrfs on my servers. Thought it was still under development. Is it
ready to deploy? If it offers an easier way to do something resembling
shadow copy, I'm in. Since I'm just getting started, now would be the time
for me to jump on board.</pre>

It's ready, AFAICT. I've been using it in multiterabyte,
multidevice pools now for over a year with zero loss—and it's
actually saved me from multiday backup/restore cycles now more than
once.<br>
