Before you can use Previous Versions with your CIFS server, you need to know which versions of ONTAP and SMB, and which Windows clients, support it. You also need to know about the Snapshot copy setting requirement.
ONTAP version requirements
Supports Previous Versions.
SMB protocol version requirements
For storage virtual machine (SVM), ONTAP supports Previous Versions on all versions of SMB.
Windows client requirements
Before a user can use Previous Versions to access data in Snapshot copies, the Windows client must support the feature.
For the latest information about which Windows clients support Previous Versions, see the Interoperability Matrix.
Requirements for Snapshot copy settings
To use Previous Versions to access data in Snapshot copies, an enabled Snapshot policy must be associated to the volume containing the data, clients must be able to access to the Snapshot data, and Snapshot copies must exist.
