I'm pretty sure this can be done with a VFS module.
I couldn't say exactly which one though.

Apologies if this question is answered somewhere obvious. I just spent a
couple of hours surfing around trying to find an answer.

I'd like to provide windows clients with access to files via samba and have samba (or other) do file versioning. In the case that a user happens to delete a file or we want to return to an earlier version, that should be
possible.

Is there a standard solution for this?

I can think of various ways it might be done, but there doesn't seem to be much on the net about doing it in practice. Support at the (in this case
Linux) filesystem level would be good. If Samba had an option to do it
automatically, that would be good. I saw something about making a .recycle bin for file removal, but I didn't get the impression this was going to provide file versioning. Less good would be having Samba hooks allowing external scripts to be run pre or post file save, so that one could use an external source code control system. Least good is to simply rely on your
backup schedule to hopefully allow recovery.

Thanks for any help...

Terry Jones
