RAIDiator 4.2.30 where to rollback snapshots?
We have a ReadyNAS 3200 still running RAIDiator 4.2.30. There are snapshots on there that are taken every 8 hours. I need to roll back to one of them, but I don't see the option anywhere. I see where...
Snapshots on RAIDiator 4 and snapshots on ReadyNAS OS 6 are two completely different features.
- Snapshots on ReadyNAS OS 6 are BTRFS snapshots, which allow block level versioning and are implemented on subvolumes. They allow to setting a subvolume read-only so that all write operations are committed to another subvolume. You retain both subvolumes (or more) until consolidation is requested by the user or the system.
- Snapshots on RAIDiator 4 are just a buffer area and a time window. During the time window, all the write operations on the data won't be committed to the volume but to that buffer area instead. When the time window ends, all the data from the buffer area is consolidated with the main volume. This is useful for taking consistent backups of the data volume but can't be used for versioning.
