Disable automatic snapshot pruning
Firmware version 6.7.5 Ransomeware is a hot item these days. My fear is that this will happen to my company data one day. This is really not desired and the snapshot functionality which is availa...
Replicate can create a temporary snapshot, back up that snapshot, and then delete it. That ensures that the data being backed up isn't changing while the backup is being made. That's described on page 28 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-COMMON/ReadyNAS%20Replicate%20UM_10Jul2013.pdf
If enough files change while the backup is in progress, then the free space could drop to the point that triggers the automatic snapshot deletion.
The backups themselves are not snapshots, so they wouldn't be automatically deleted.
Ok so "Only backups will help you" is something i understand and therfore i want to setup a remote backup with the help of Replicate. The idea is to do a remote backup once a week and keep 3 or 4 versions of this backup to be able to go back in time if required. This backup will only be used when the other original nas is gone or broken by whatever means. Question i have for this backup is what will happen with the snapshots that this backup scheme wil generate. Are these also automatically deleted when the space is needed? Like the local snapshots?
Purpose is to create a backup system that is fully automatic so no user interaction is requiered untill something whent wrong.
