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...
I think "previous versions" is a very nice feature ReadyNAS feature, and perhaps under-publicized.
If you know what file you want to roll back, it is much faster/more convenient than browsing through a ton of snapshots.

If you know what file you want to roll back, it is much faster/more convenient than browsing through a ton of snapshots.Unfortunately, seems the "Previous Versions" feature has been changed in Windows 10 (or maybe in Windows 8, not sure). They now have you specify a location to "back up" to for the previous versions. So the snapshots are no longer available through the Windows Previous Versions feature.
- I am not seeing that issue on my Windows 10 install.
Did you go into the share configuration on the ReadyNAS to enable the "Allow Snapshot Access"?
That button does two things:
1) mounts your snapshots to a folder so you can browse
2) allows the functionality for "Previous Versions" in windows.
