ReadyNAS 312 Need Help Understanding Snapshots
We're about to pull the trigger on a ReadyNAS 312 with either two 2TB or 4TB drives. We have about 290GB of data files. Ideally we'd like to have daily snapshots, but I'm unsure how much data a snaps...
ALL snapshots are visible, NOT just distinct versions.

I believe that the automatic monthly snapshots MAY be deleted, when the discs get full, default 95% alterable via the shell.
StephenB wrote: Hourly snapshots are kept for 48 hours, daily snapshots are kept for 4 weeks, weekly snapshots are kept for 8 weeks, and monthly snapshots are kept indefinitely. That will also thin the available versions over time.
However the manual snapshots are NEVER deleted, except by you of course.
EDIT:- Sorry guys ... started reply before lunch and continued after, resulting in duplication (the second point).
The first point still stands and is new to the post .......All snapshots are visible.
