samba - Mar 2022 - Does samba have the ability to specify a backup location for files that are replaced/overwritten?

I want it so every time a client modifies an existing file from a samba
share, samba, on the server, will make a backup copy of the file first.
Either by making a backup or using some kind of hard-link mechanism.

Thank you!

I do this with rsync. It's a passive approach in the sense that rsync
doesn't know if the client touched a file but if you create nightlies rsync
can check the differences and send those deletes to an archive. In fact,
this is how I provide backup services for most of my clients. Good luck.
Thanks, Phil
