6.5.0-T322 Snapshot Oddity...

Prior to the update, my RN202 was running 6.4.2.  The shares using snapshots indicated that the months of snapshot protection was 4 months.

 

Post-update, I set up a custom snapshot schedule for all shares that use snapshots - with three months of retention.  For some shares, the older snapshots seemed to be immediately deleted.

 

However, there were several shares where this did not occur.  I went into recover, and found that there were monthly snapshots going back to 10/31/2015 (older than 4 months of course).  I think the older snapshots were created with 6.3.x firmware, and that there may have been a snapshot migration issue when I went to 6.4.x.  

 

I manually deleted the older ones for some of these shares.  Tomorrow I'll check the others to see if the snapshots > 3 months old are deleted, and post back.

There was a snapshot upgrade issue going from 6.1.x to newer firmware. I'm not aware of any other similar issue.

 

Did you happen to download the logs before you started deleting snapshots?

Not right before, but I may have some older ones.  If I do, I'll PM you.
