RN204 deleted share
Hello
A user has deleted a share that had snapshots. How do I (can I) find the snapshots to restore without the original share being there? Is this possible?

If he had access to the full data volume (with NAS admin credentials) he probably could delete the folder from windows file explorer. I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure if you'd still see the share in the admin UI's listing (or not) if someone did that.
If the share is gone, the snapshots are too. You can try Netgear's data recovery service, but that will cost and there is no guarantee of success.

Did he delete that share itself from the admin web ui? Or did he delete the files in the share?
I think he deleted the share itself from the admin GUI - they have admin log in for it so that must be the case. AFAIK, (which isn't lots tbh) you can't delete the share from (for example) windows file explorer can you?
