Hello, There are a number of conditions you need to fulfill for adding code to Bacula or more precisely the Bacula project. First, it is good to review the design with the developers particularly because in the case of this project, it is already in progress. Part of the review is to ensure that any new directives/code are consistent with the current Bacula philosophy and code standards. In addition, you will need to fill out an FLA and send it in. Please see the bacula.org web site for details. Adding a new keyword such as "snapshot" would make more sense as VSS is very Windows specific.
