How are snapshot backups accessed?

In Microsoft Windows clients, snapshot backups can be accessed through the special folder named .zfs in your home directory. In machines that have DCShome home directories NFS mounted, snapshots can be accessed through the special directory named .zfs in the root of your home directory. The snapshot directories are located under a snapshots directory in .zfs and are named GMT-YYYY.MM.DD-HH:00:SS where YYYY is the year of the snapshot, MM is the month, DD is the day of the month, HH is the hour the snapshot was taken, and SS is the seconds (00 will always be the minutes of the snapshot time). For example, .zfs/snapshots/GMT-2009.08.19-14:00:00 would be your home directory snapshot taken on August 18, 2009 at 2:00 PM.
