Old ReadyNAS won't move to new OS version
I have an old ReadyNAS Pro Business 6310 (I think that's the correct model number) running 6.10.1 firmware. I have a few questions. Perhaps someone can offer some advice. 1. Whenever I try to che...
FYI, my backup NASes (RN4200V2's running OS6) turn on at 2am and snapshot pruning takes place just fine, though pruning because it's hovering just over 70% full and scheduled custom deletions are different things.
And the most recent scrub did hold off the shut-down.

Looking again, my last scrub failed to start (back in May). That might be because a disk test was actively running.
The disk tests definitely don't hold off the shutdowns.

As you know, I use custom snapshots. I was talking about the deletion of snapshots that were older than the retention period. I also want the custom snapshots to be taken before the backup begins. After would be fine too, but I don't want them taken during the backup.
There were some constraints on pruning and maintenance task launching when I first set up the power schedule, but that was quite some time ago.
In any event, 11 pm - 1 am is working out ok for me.
I haven't moved to custom snapshots on my backup NAS, and I don't doubt that custom deletions act differently than automatic pruning. I just wanted to add the info on pruning hoping to aid anyone who might confuse the two.
