ReadyNAS Snapshot and data recovery
Using firmware 6.10.3 on RN314. Win 10 clients attached. I have a share. It has snapshots every day. I also do backups every day to external drive. Daily is incremental backup. Weekend is full backup...

I wouldn't look sequentially. I'd start somewhere in the middle (say snapshot 12 if you have 25). If you see it, move forward in time (say to snapshot 18), if not, shift backwards (say to snapshot 6). That should be quite a bit faster.
I'd start by browsing the snapshots for the share in the web admin ui.
If you know the approximate date that you last changed the folder contents, that might simplify the search.

Wish there was a search feature.

From experience: Check first to see if somebody didn't accidently move the missing folder into another instead of deleting it.
