Recover deleted file
I have ReadyNAS RN104 version 6.10.8, running 4 drives on RAID5.
I have turned on Snapshot and my last Snapshot was stamped 14 Jan 0000hrs.
This morning (17 Jan) I accidentally deleted some files. Is there a way for me to recover those deleted files that were just deleted?
I'd appreciate your help and guidance.

On the Shares tab, select the gear icon for the share and then select Recover. Select a snapshot, navigate to the file, then right-click and choose Restore.
If you've enabled Windows previous versions, you can also recover via Windows.
- Sandshark, thank you for your guidance. As I have never tried restoring, can I clarify that your method will allow me to recover the files deleted on 17th Jan 0900hrs while the snapshot copy was stamped at 14th Jan 0000hrs?

If you added files to the share after that time (that you did not delete), then you should copy them before you do the restore.
