Error restoring from Snapshot: LOGMSG_FSSNAP_RESTORE_FAILED
I received this error message trying to restore a file from two different snapshots. Downloaded the logs from today, but there are 86 of them, and I don't know where to look as to the exact culprit. ...

Do snapshot restores work at all? I have never tried a restore before this morning.
I just tested this on my own NAS (also running 6.10.3) and it worked fine. I right-clicked on the file in Windows File Explorer, and selected "Restore Previous Version". That lists the specific (different) versions that are available for the file. Selecting one, and then choosing "restore" worked.
There is also an "open" option, which failed. That is likely because my snapshots are set not to allow snapshot access.

Yes, that often isn't easy to figure out. Try system.log (and maybe also kernel.log).

My files were deleted, and I assumed that a prior snapshot would contain them. Apparently I was wrong.
