ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide

Resizing the snapshot space will occur offline and can take a while depending on your data volume size and the number of files in your volume. Expanding the snapshot space reduces your data volume size, and reducing the snapshot space expands it.

Note: Because of the way snapshots work, you will encounter a drop in write performance when a snapshot is active. If your environment requires the highest throughput in performance, the active snapshot should be deleted, or you should set a limit on how long the snapshot should be live.

Backing Up the ReadyNAS to a USB Drive

The following sections describe how to back up and remove disks from the ReadyNAS systems.

On the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition, the Backup button is associated with the USB Port at the front of the system. By default, the Backup button copies the data from the Backup share onto the USB disk connected to the USB port at the front of the device .

You can program backups for one or more predefined backup jobs.

Warning: Make sure that you have a USB hard drive attached to the front USB Port before pressing the Backup button.
