VSS Shadowcopy doesn't work after update to 12.0

Description

Greetings,

I am submitting a bug regarding Windows Previous Versions functionality. About a month ago I updated our system from 11.3-U5 to 12.0-U1 , when I submitted this bug:
https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-109018

Thank you for resolving that in U2, which I already downloaded and updated. Snapshots are now visible and accessible through Windows Previous versions. But part of the problem still persists.
When I restore a file by cloning snapshot to a database it works perfectly, but when I try to restore a deleted file prom Windows Previous Versions I get an message: "The previous version of "." from *.* ago no longer exists. Select a different version and try again"

I tried to delete all the snapshots and create new ones, redo the periodic snapshot tasks, disabled and enabled Shadocopies in SMB service , restart the SMB service itself. I checked documentation and Lawrence systems videos for more info, but I have no success in making Previous versions work again.

Please see attached screenshot and debug file.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you a lot, really appreciate that. I will check on the system during the week when I go to the office and write you back. 

Have a nice weekend.

Anthony, backports to nightlies from the 12.0-stable branch (fixing smblibzfs issues have not been merged yet).
, I believe I have fixed the problem. If you are interested in validating that the issue is fully fixed this time, send me an email at awalker@ixsystems.com and I'll provide a download link for a custom update file (with instructions on how to install).

I can't seem to attach to the private section. Should I put another ticket to do so? The most interesting thing I was talking about was where it's trying to find snapshots and datasets that don't possibly exist...
