Snapshot Management
I am running OS 6.1.8 on a ReadyNAS 314 (4x2GB).
It would be useful to be able to specify the number of snapshots to be retained.
For example, daily snapshots are kept for 4 weeks . . . A week is long enough for my needs and I have to remember to manually delete them.
Tx!

Re: Snapshot Management
I agree that better controls are needed.
Also a single button "delete all snapshots" for the volume would be handy.

Agreed. Or the ability to select multiple snapshots to delete at once via a checkbox of sorts.

Re: Snapshot Management
Old automatic snapshots are deleted when volume usage exceeds 95% to get volume usage back under 95%.

Re: Snapshot Management
I agree with hksscom. I posted a couple of days back that the addition of a check box over or built into each snapshot marker would be a useful addition, so tedious and slow to delete one at a time, plus the schedule to include a Monthly Option in the Snapshot frequency

Re: Snapshot Management
I think these are fine.

But what I'd like is "an automatically delete snapshots after X days" option. I'd set X at 3 months, but I suspect others would want other values.
Right now I set snapshots at daily - which gives me a reasonable chance to recovery any accidentally changed file. The default thinning of snapshots over time is also reasonable, but I don't want snapshots retained forever (as they are now). The fragmentation and storage that creates isn't worth it.
