The MaxNAS R8 has the ability take

snapshots of any ZFS volume on the

RAID system. A Snapshot is a read-only copy of a volume that can be created almost instantly.

Each snapshot contains the state of the file system at the time of its creation. The MaxNAS

R8 stores snapshots in a hidden shared folder that can be accessed by pointing your network

explorer to

\\[MaxNAS name or IP]\snapshot\

To access the Snapshot menu, click the relevent ZFS share and click

menu has two tabs.

The Snapshot tab displays a list of past snapshots

along with a date and time-stamp. You can create

and remove snapshots at any time by clicking the

“Take shot” and “Remove” buttons on this menu.

The Schedule tab allows you schedule, monthly,

weekly or daily snapshots for this folder. You also

have the option of configuring the MaxNAS R8 to delete the oldest Snapshot in the list when

a new one is created (This does not apply to Snapshots

that are manually created, through the Snapshot tab).

Note: There can be a maximum of 16

snapshots per ZFS share volume.
