Yes this work, but you need an little hack, use an samba container - create the snapshots on the host and mount the snapshots inside the container with sshfs-mount - then you can access the snapshotted data with an windows client (older versions).Hi all! I'm late to the party but I'd like to add my 2 cents.
You could make the snapshots available to Windows using samba vfs_shadow_copy...

Hope this helps.
Works well.
Unfortunality an apple-client don't have this feature (but can scroll inside the snapshot directory).
