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. ...

Actually, no, it's not odd. Snapshots are not a complete copy of everything on your NAS. They are a separate set of pointers to the data at another point in time. That means any data not changed is pointed to by the current and snapshot pointers and only changed content has pointers to different sets of data. That's why snapshots can work going back many revisions without filling the drives.
Ah, makes sense Sandshark.
