RN 204 snapshot
I am having trouble understanding how to use snapshots on my ReadyNAS 204 (firmware 6.4.1). I used to have a ReadyNAS Duo V1 that started to drop of my network, so I decided to buy a 204. ...
I have just about 1 TB of data on my 2 TB RAID 1 array.
It looks like It is working after I copied my documents (Word/Excel/Vegas Pro etc.) to the documents share and enabled Snapshot on this share.
I guess the ReadyNAS is confused that there is a share with the same name at the volume.
The files that are left in the "Data" share are files that is not changed very often, and since I do backup twice a week, the snapshots are not needed on this share.
Thanks for all the replies.
The NAS is running 24/7, so i assume that the snapshot should be created if i change or delete a file.
I have mainly been adding lines to spreadsheets and adding PDF files to the folder, but I have not deleted any files yet.

It should be creating a daily snapshot even if the share hasn't changed at all.
If you purchased within the past 90 days you might want to use your telephone support.
Hello again,
It seems like a snapshot has been created this midnight, although it is another shared folder than it should be. I want the "Data" folder to do snapshots, but the "Documents" folder now has a snapshot but nothing seems to be in that folder.
I just tried making a manual shapshot og my "Data" folder but the ReadyNAS reported:
-----
Snapshot failed
28003020000
Error in creating a new snapshot
-----

Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Data is usually the volume name, not a share name. Does "Data" appear on your share list in the web ui? If so, what is your volume name (on the volume tab)?
The volume is named "data" and on the volume i have a share called "Data"
