Snapshot support seems to have been removed since NV+ v1. The information below is taken from Netgear information from NV+ v1: http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=193#Overview

In addition to the various security options, the NV+ comes with snapshot support. Consider a snapshot as an instant point-in-time image of your data, sort of like a photo taken with a camera. Regardless of the number of files or the volume of data on the ReadyNAS, a snapshot only takes a couple of seconds, and you can continue using the ReadyNAS as usual during the snapshot process. If you inadvertantly change or delete files or folders after you’ve taken a snapshot, you can always revert to the version saved in that snapshot. This can be useful if your files were infected with a virus and you needed to revert back to a good copy saved at midnight.
A snapshot can also be scheduled to coincide with your backups. Typical backups can take hours, so a backup of a snapshot insures that you’re making a backup of something that won’t be changing during the backup process.

On this page about NV+ v2 Netgear says clearly that there is no snapshot backup support: http://www.netgear.com/images/ReadyNAS_ ... -57079.pdf
Instead of snapshot support there seems to be some kind of lock while making backup.
