slize Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hey, im looking for a way to enable the windows "previous versions" feature on Unraid. Since Unraid supports btrfs and btrfs seems to support the "previous versions" feature, shouldnt it be possible to enable it somehow? Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Don't forget that Unraid uses independent filesystem for each device, so if you want to do that to a share that spans multiple disks you have to snapshot all disks, not the share. Quote Link to comment
slize Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hey @johnnie.black, thanks for your fast reply. As far as i can tell this does only create a snapshot at a specific time. I'm looking for a solution that creats a snapshot as soon as a file gets updated. Isn't that possible? Quote Link to comment
