Error in delete snapshot 28004020002
Good evening. New RN202 delivered with Firmware 6.3.2, has 1*500Gb disk, loaded with less than 2Gb files into Backup share, set to Hourly snapshots. After the first night snapshots was change...
It is somewhere in 6.3.5 for sure.
Try system->settings and look at the volume maintenance. In 6.3.5 you might need to schedule it, instead of running it on demand.
Your volume is quite full so a balance may not work. You want to get volume usage down to 80-85% before running a balance if you want to try that.
6.3.2 is old firmware btw. You may wish to update the firmware.

I'd suggest 6.3.5 (you'd need to manually install that before you could go to 6.4.x anyway).
I'd pass on 6.4.0 for now, and wait for 6.4.1.
Good morning, and thank you for your answers.
Upgraded firmware to 6.3.5 and decided to chalenge the "Auto snapshot delete" function that goes into action at 95% disk use. It actually deleted all the snapshots; but isn't 95% a bit late?
FWIW: I copied my local data drive, filesize total=257Gb, to the 460Gb disk space (55%); that generated warnings about > 90% disk usage (33Gb free of the 460Gb). So I figure I should use less than 50% of a disk.
Do you have further info regarding the amount of reserved disk space?
No problem deleting files to try the Balance function; but where is it?
If volume usage exceeds 95% the oldest automatic snapshots will be automatically deleted until volume usage falls back below 95%.
I would recommend limiting your volume usage to ~80%.Under System > Volumes you would click on the settings wheel for your volume and choose the balance option.
