Unable to free up space in drive even after deletion of snapshot data in Netgear Nas1002
I have gone through all previous treads on deletion of Snapshot data in this forum. I tried to delete previous snapshots in Admin Page-> Shares -> Snapshots -> Deleted snapshots in each folder. But t...
Did you try then running a balance, followed by a scrub?
One option is to back up your data, do a factory default, reconfigure the NAS, and then restore your data from the backup.
Thank you for your reply, I have just completed Balance and started scrub, Will give you an update once its done. I want to do factory default as last option. As i do not have 1 TB drive to take backup :-)
Waiting till the data volume is pretty much 100% full before dealing with the problem is far from ideal. If there are snapshots that need upgrading the snapshot upgrade process would require some free space I would think.
Hi Stephen,
I tried running balance and scrub, But that did not help in removing the snapshot data.
I got a new 1 TB drive to take backup and then do a factory default re-set , But unfortunatley i am unable to copy the data from NAS to external Harddrive. I get the status bar mentioning that copy is in progress and after 30 minutes. Its getting termiated without any error. Any alternate way to copy data from NAS to External harddrive ? Appreciate if you can guide me to any link than can share step by step instructions to follow this.
Cheers,
Suman
How are you trying to copy the data now?
Is the external hard drive connected to a PC or is it connected to the NAS?
- External harddrive is connected to NAS using front USB port.
