Dell FluidFS NAS Solutions Administrator's Guide

After the snapshot is created, you can access a special folder from Export or Share.

Access the special folder from UNIX under the directory called .snapshots under each NFS Export.

Access the special folder from Microsoft Windows under the directory . snapshots under each Share. (This integrates into Shadow Copies and enables previous versions.)

Snapshots retain the same security style as the Active file system. Therefore, even using Snapshots, users can access only their own files based on existing permissions. The data available when accessing a specific Snapshot is at the level of the specific share and its subdirectories, ensuring that users cannot access other parts of the file system.
