RN314 and the Recycle Bin
I can not figure out how to enable the Recycle Bin feature on my new RN314. I was using it on the NV+.

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredOn OS6 we have snapshots. We don't use the recycle bin feature of samba on OS6.
- wliTutorWhat if a file is created then deleted between snapshot, recycle bin would still have a copy of deleted file, but not snapshot?

The snapshot would still contain the version of the deleted file that existed when the snapshot was taken.wli wrote: What if a file is created then deleted between snapshot, recycle bin would still have a copy of deleted file, but not snapshot?
If the file didn't exist when the snapshot was taken, then of course it would be gone. - wliTutorObviously snapshot doesn't replace recycle bin, they have different use cases.

I agree that it's not 1-1. Snapshot is better in several scenarios (for instance rolling back to an old version of a file); recycle bin is better in others.wli wrote: Obviously snapshot doesn't replace recycle bin, they have different use cases.
I find the snapshots more useful myself. - PWS442GuideI miss the Recycle Bin on the ReadyNAS NV+. Just lost something between snapshots. Sad.

I have it set up on my 104's - PWS442GuideScary message about Netgear denying support if SSH is enabled. And, are Snapshots still there if the Recycle Bin is configured? I have not configured it yet.
- davexyzAspirantWith ssh you have effective access to the operating system hence the warning.
Yes you do still have snapshots. - PWS442GuideI suppose I would edit (on my MAC) the recycle.conf file in the frontview sub-folder (which exists, but is empty) and add the lines like: "media!!/c/media!!0!!360" for all the shares I want to keep for a while. I am a little confused as to how to re-zip the configuration, upload it, and not brick my 314.
