When setting up a share using

vfs object = shadow_copy2

shadow copies don't show on remote computer unless

unix extensions = no
wide links = yes

are added to the global section as well which disable features and might
enable access to paths from anywhere in the system which is a security
issue.

Debugging of the problem has been done in samba mailing list but
stopped: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-
