A share snapshot is a point-in-time, read-only copy of your data. You can create, delete, and manage snapshots by using the REST API. Same capabilities are also available in the client library, Azure CLI, and Azure portal.

You can view snapshots of a share by using both the REST API and SMB. You can retrieve the list of versions of the directory or file, and you can mount a specific version directly as a drive (only available on Windows - see [Limits](#limits)).

After a share snapshot is created, it can be read, copied, or deleted, but not modified. You can't copy a whole share snapshot to another storage account. You have to do that file by file, by using AzCopy or other copying mechanisms.

Share snapshot capability is provided at the file share level. Retrieval is provided at individual file level, to allow for restoring individual files. You can restore a complete file share by using SMB, the REST API, the portal, the client library, or PowerShell/CLI tooling.

A share snapshot of a file share is identical to its base file share. The only difference is that a **DateTime** value is appended to the share URI to indicate the time at which the share snapshot was taken. For example, if a file share URI is http:\//storagesample.core.file.windows.net/myshare, the share snapshot URI is similar to:
Share snapshots persist until they are explicitly deleted. A share snapshot cannot outlive its base file share. You can enumerate the snapshots associated with the base file share to track your current snapshots.

When you create a share snapshot of a file share, the files in the share's system properties are copied to the share snapshot with the same values. The base files and the file share's metadata are also copied to the share snapshot, unless you specify separate metadata for the share snapshot when you create it.
