ReadyNAS Encryption
Hello, I am a new admin with a RR2312. No matter what I type in the Model field, it blanks it immediately :-(. I have created several volumes on the NAS. I would like to use one of the volume...

I think what you are looking for is more like VeraCrypt containers or BitLocker encrypted virtual drives within a share.
That would provide protection from someone else getting the VM images, but it wouldn't provide any protection from a ransomware attack.

I didn't consider that if the ransomware can get to the containers, it can still re-encrypt them. So, the iSCSI option, with the whole volume encrypted by BitLocker or VeraCrypt, seems a possible solution. You can lock and unlock the volume and even connect and disconnect the target if you want to go that far. This, too, is limited to a single user at a time.
Thank you. I think the iSCSI method might work and I think I can figure out how to do it :-)
On behalf of our stray and abandoned animal clients, thank you.
