Overwriting a NAS when storage is full or a percentage full
NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN214 4 Bay Diskless Personal Cloud NAS
Is there a setting for overwriting files when the storage is full or a percentage or amount of memory is reached or full?
I want to use this NAS as a cloud backup for video recordings from a CCTV DVR and overwrite the information instead of deleting manually.
Thanks

It's not a setting in the NAS itself but most likely a setting in your CCTV/DVR software

I agree. There's no way I can think of to do this in the NAS. If the videos are stored as separate files (using motion detection), than it would be possible to write a script that deletes the oldest. But that is not the same as overwriting the oldest.
But your surveillance software likely does have some controls over retention of space. If it supports continuous recording, it likely would have a space (or time) limit, and start overwriting the oldest video when that limit is hit.
Also, you'd want to be very thoughtful about enabling snapshots on the share used for surveillance. The snapshots could end up very large.

Thanks for your response. The DVR only supports sending videos to the NAS, not settings like overwrite.
Is it recording continuously into one file?
Or is it sending a bunch of files over time (and you just need to delete the oldest ones every now and then)?
