Hi,
For obvious reasons . ref.
Would be cool and helpful, isn’t it ?
bump.
That’s not a feature that can be added to TrueNAS. It wholly depends on Apple to implement the relevant parts of the SMB protocol to do proper shadow copy integration.
If you want something hackish, you can set the snapdir to visible and then have people hit Command + Shift + . in Finder. This will have finder show hidden files. Then you can open the .zfs/snapshot directory and browse snapshots.
WARNING: changing snapdir visibility can significantly break some applications that operate on all files on the dataset. For example, if you have something that is recursively backing up all files on the path, then it will be able to walk into the snapshot directory and try to back up your snapshots resulting in an explosion of space used on the backup target.
