USB Backup - Does it keep sets?

Hi All

 

I've got this readyNAS that's going snapshots. However, it doesnt go as far as i want it to.

 

I've got a USB backup and I was hoping maying I could get the file from there.

 

Does the USB backup just copy the data at that time or does it create sets?

 

from what im seeing it doesnt look like it does.

    It just copies files.  If you use the default settings, then files that you delete on the NAS should still be on the USB backup.  But if the file was modified, you'll just find the most recent version that was backed up.
