Snapshots seem to be working, Windows 'previous version' not available?

What am I doing wrong? I can see snapshots in the snapshot view.
I can't recall how I enabled this, long long ago (!!) I just recall it working.

I haven't gone to use it in months and months and I see, it's not there, luckily I didn't lose anything too important at all

What's the output of testparm -s?

[data]
ea support = No
path = /mnt/ARRAY/data
read only = No
vfs objects = zfs_space zfsacl streams_xattr
nfs4:chown = true
"


Whereas another share of mine, has this:
(Note the flag "shadow_copy_zfs " unlike the above entry)

[Huawei]
ea support = No
guest ok = Yes
kernel share modes = No
path = /mnt/ARRAY/data/backup/Huawei
posix locking = No
read only = No
vfs objects = streams_xattr shadow_copy_zfs ixnas aio_fbsd
nfs4:chown = true


Furthermore the box IS ticked on the datashare - on the right hand side.


"Enable Shadow Copies" = 100% ticked for the top, data share?
Tooltip : " Export ZFS snapshots as Shadow Copies for VSS clients. "
I can confirm, snapshots of the volume, definitely do exist.

Have I done something wrong, because, this used to work?

In your auxiliary parameters, you should have a line that reads vfs objects = zfs_space zfsacl streams_xattr, change it to be vfs objects = streams_xattr shadow_copy_zfs zfs_space zfsacl

I'm unsure how to change it, furthermore, I'm unsure how it broke in the first place.
Should I simply try the GUI, disabling the feature, against the share- then re-enabling?
