Recycle bin fills up my ReadyNAS
I use Radiator 1.4.6 with my ReadyNAS Duo. About two months ago I enabled the Recycle bin for my CIFS share "Backup", with options "Remove files older than: 10 days" and "Limit Recycle Bin to: 200 Mb" about 2 months ago. Yesterday I noticed that of my 1 Tb discs 600 Gb were used, and found that most of this was the Recycle bin, with loads of copies of backup files through NTI Shadow for ReadyNAS. It is configured to make a backup once a day with 3 older copies saved, so the fourth copy sends the former one to Recycle bin I suppose. Now I've spent several hours erasing this huge bin (that is from now on disabled).
Does anyone recognize this problem - that the Recycle bin doesn't empty itself as it should according to the options? I have turned it off now, and realize that three version copies in the backup usually are enough.
