! Extra for experts
If you want, you can have multiple rotations; it would make sense to have half days for the last 2 days and days for the last week; you can do this by having another table, /etc/snapshots/dailytab, and creating a rotate-daily-snapshots script to match. (Be sure to up the snapshot size).
+
+You might also like to support non-Windows users, by letting them access the snapshots with NFS or SMB. Try symlinking to them, or writing a script to generate Samba shares to suit.
! Conclusion
Congratulations; all going well you should have a Samba share with shadow copies. You can test it by editing a file, running <tt>create-snapshot-now</tt>, and editing the same file. After changing it, you should see a "Previous versions" tab appear on the files properties, with the time that you took your snapshot.
