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 certainly visible. But I was talking specifically about what shows up on the "previous versions" right click, not about snapshots per se.

I have double-checked this, and only distinct versions show up in "Previous versions". I have a share with 35 snapshots taken over the past three months. Files that haven't changed over that period come up with "no previous version found". Files that have changed don't give me 35 versions to choose from, only the ones that are actually different. All these files are in all 35 snapshots.
