I am about to do a full Reset to Factory on my RN528 (with 8x8TB Ironwolf drives). I will be using the out-of-the-box RAID6 config that is created by default. I want the new configuration to be such that no Snapshots are ever made on any share.
Please, is there a way to set this before any data is loaded onto the device without having to resort to apps or SSH? I just want to click a button somewhere on the Dashboard and Snapshots to be a thing of the past.
OK, that is the page I thought you were referring to. Nothing there tells you what the snapshot schedule is. It shows how many snapshots currently exist.
To delete snapshots, use the gear icon for each share and select "recover". Then when the snapshots are displayed, right-click on each and select delete. It may take some time for the snapshot space to be recovered (assuming they really are taking up much additional space).
Thanks for your quick reply... I assume you mean in the settings for each share, is that right? When I try to do that the snapshot frequency does not change as shown in the share status screen
I can't see your screen shot until a moderator makes it available. But the "Shares Status" screen, if I understand which page you mean by that, doesn't show the frequency of snapshots, it shows how many are already made. If you turn off snapshots, that doesn't remove existing snapshots -- you have to do that manually.
