I was running against Windows, that's why :-). Windows needs TWrp.

I've been thinking about that. I don't want the client code to arbitrarily
scan SMB2 opens for @GMT-YYYY... paths and convert them into TWrp tokens,
so I was thinking of a modal switch (yeah sucks but I can't think of any
other way).

Like we have cli_set_backup_intent(), I think we need cli_set_previous_version(cli, time_t t).

If that is set, the SMB2 client code then scans for and removes
any @GMT-YYYY... part of the path that contains the time_t t
and sends a TWtp token containing t.

I'm trying to keep compatibility with the SMB1 path-based selection,
as well as the SMB2 TWtp based selection, which is rather hard. The
source3/client/client.c code can set a previous version time using
cli_set_previous_version() as well as append the @GMT-YYYY.. to the
path to cover both cases.

Setting cli_set_previous_version(cli, 0) removes any special casing
in the SMB2 client SMB2create code.


Thoughts ?

I need to fix the source3/modules/vfs_snapper.c code first :-).

I'll send a patch to review soon !
