I need to do hourly incremental backups of an Ubuntu File Server with a USB attached NAS (yet to be purchased.) I want to give end users easy access to browse the different file versions and copy the version they want to their Windows workstation themselves. I think the easiest for users would be to map a drive for them to the backup files.
My understanding is FreeNAS snapshots can show up as previous versions in Windows explorer. It's a Samba option in FreeNAS that makes it seamless to the end user. Before deciding to go with FreeNAS I'm curious as to how it shows up in Windows Explorer to the users when they are browsing the Samba share? I can't find any information or screenshots. Any help would be appreciated!
