RN314 scheduled snapshots not working on some shares
Hi I have had smart snapshots enabled for years on my 314. Recently the scheduled snapshots on my main Projects share stopped working. It seems that all of the old snapshots are gone (no harm done)...
Hi, that appears to be working and is copying now with original timestamps.
RE Backups:
1) RAID 5
2) Snapshots will be twice daily (hopefully this will be fixed with this new share)
3) Daily backup via Windows to external HDD plugged into my main PC (using FreeFileSync as you suggested. I went for this approach as USB drives plugged into the NAS were flaky and occasionally disconnected mid backup, filling up up the OS partition and bricking it) This isn't ideal as I have to leave my main PC on now - but FFS has a lot more options in the GUI than the NAS.
4) Daily backups to AWS, with versioning for 90days.
I think that is quite thorough - I was swapping out my local disk but I tended to leave it for months. But I may revisit that and swap after a big project milestone.
Anyways, thanks for being here Stephen, you often help me and I appreciate it.

After some further investigation it appears that none of the scheduled snapshots, for any shares are working on my NAS.
Sorry for the misinformation.
It appears that all of my scheduled snapshots are no longer visible, and the only snapshots that have been retained that are available to Windows previous versions are those that I have manually created over the years.
I'm unsure as to how long this has been like this. I can confirm that creating a new share doesn't solve this problem, there are no new snapshots, and I have tried creating new text files so that there are some changes...
