Browse snapshots from OSX?

[helloha]

Hi,

I'm new to ZFS snapshots, never had to use them before. I know you can restore to a snapshot from the terminal. But I was wondering if you were able to browse snapshots as well in a UI environment. I read you can do this in linux but I was wondering if you could do the same in OSX when mounting an AFP share.

THX!

No, I don't think there's any way to browse snapshots in OS X over AFP. However, Windows users can use the previous versions feature in Windows Explorer to browse snapshots over CIFS, and there's some kind of integration with VMware snapshots in recent versions of FreeNAS too.
