SNAPSHOTS

Snapshots are a quick way to ensure that your entire system gets backed up at all times thus preventing data loss. In order to make use of the Snapshots system you first need to create a storage pool with the drives you have installed in the NAS (for this we used two M.2 SATA drives).

Of course, you can also choose to encrypt the storage pool to further protect your data against unauthorized access.

You also need to set an alert threshold or keep the recommended one (80% seems too low however).

 
After that you can create a thick volume which you can use for system snapshots.

Here you can also set an alert threshold and encrypt the volume if you want.

After that is over with you can take and manage snapshots either by clicking on the top right button seen above or by going into the snapshots overview.

You can put your very own tag/name on each snapshot and you can make sure it never gets deleted to make room for others by clicking on the required box.

As you can see from the above pictures in order to provide maximum protection for your sensitive data the snapshot function adapts to include new data as time goes by.
