+shadow:snapprefix
+
+ With growing number of snapshots file-systems need some mechanism to
+ differentiate one set of snapshots from other, e.g. monthly, weekly, manual,
+ special events, etc. Therefore these file-systems provide different ways to tag
+ snapshots, e.g. provide a configurable way to name snapshots, which is not just
+ based on time. With only shadow:format it is very difficult to filter these
+ snapshots. With this optional parameter, one can specify a variable prefix
+ component for names of the snapshot directories in the file-system. If this
+ parameter is set, together with the shadow:format and shadow:delimiter
+ parameters it determines the possible names of snapshot directories in the
+ file-system. The option only supports Basic Regular Expression (BRE).
+
+shadow:delimiter
+
+ This optional parameter is used as a delimiter between shadow:snapprefix and
+ shadow:format This parameter is used only when shadow:snapprefix is set.
+
+ Default: shadow:delimiter = "_GMT"
