Backup (move/copy) share + snapshots to new ReadyNAS?
Hello.
I have been able to copy the shared folder but not the snapshots. Can this be done?
I will try to explain:
I currently rsync data from a windows server to a shared folder on a ReadyNAS 51400. This shared folder has months worth of manual and automatic snapshots. I need to move this shared folder to a new ReadyNAS and would like to keep all the snapshots in case I need to recover something from a snapshot.
Both ReadyNAS are running 6.2.2.
I have tried to create a backup job to copy the share and its snapshots folder from NAS to NAS but can't get it to work.
I tried this some time ago with an earlier version of ReadyNAS OS. However, it filled the NAS. I think it copied more than just the delta's in each snapshot. In other words, it effectively tried to create a clone for every snapshot. Obviously, the NAS did not have capacity to store 10+ clones of the share.
Thanks.
Ian.

Don't think you can do that. What disks do you currently have installed? Have you considered expanding your volume?
