Snapshots eventaully get pushed off / deleted.
I want to create a -1- time backup that will NEVER be deleted.
.
example: I bought a new iphone & as everyone knows when you reload your itunes music
it tends to make duplicates, then Re-arranges your artist, albums & such.
After a few weeks, I could not locate some of my music & looked through the snapshots
and this album was in a snapshot like 5 days from dropping off ( being deleted ).
I looked over my music list and was shocked at what was not there.
I pulled out my old old 1gb external WD Passport and loaded most of what was missing.
( what was missing was music that iTunes didn't like because it was not purchased from them)
after dragging and dropping WD>ReadyNAS.. then I went through deleting a ton.. ( lord help)
.
SO.. What I wanna do is 2x a year, make a FIRM, SECURE backup of everything that wont
get deleted or pushed off the system.
.
Years back I used to have a backup program that matched EVERYTHING up. You could select options
to NOT delete anything, and only to add any missing items. It even gave you a popup of what it would
put back and you can uncheck items you didn't want. I wish ReadyNAS had a program like that.
.
But back to the Q.. How can I create a Backup that wont get deleted ?

You can create an archival share, and create a web ui backup job to back up the main share to the archival one. Re-running the backup job won't delete anything in the archival share (unless you override the default settings). It will over-write files that have changed of course.
You can run that backup job manually or on a schedule. Since it doesn't delete anything in the destination, you could run it more often than 2x a year with no bad consequences.
Note you can also do a backup this way to a USB drive, which is better since you are getting a backup copy on a separate device.
