Recover Data from a Snapshot
The best way to protect against data loss is to back up your data. Regularly taking snapshots of your data
can also help prevent loss, because you can recover data from snapshots.
Recover Data from a Snapshot to a Network-Attached Device
Recovering data from a snapshot to a network-attached device, such as a laptop or tablet, involves the
following high-level steps:
1. Enable access to snapshots.
You must allow users to access snapshots from network-attached devices.You can grant access to
snapshots by selecting the Allow snapshot access check box when you configure the properties of a
shared folder. For more information, see View and Change the Properties of a Shared Folder on page
44.
2. Access a shared folder from a network-attached device.
Snapshots reside on the same volume as the shared folder (or LUN) from which they were created.
After you enable access to snapshots, users can access snapshots of shared folders according to
their access rights. Users who have access to a shared folder can access its snapshots. Users who
do not have access to a shared folder cannot access its snapshots. For more information about
accessing a shared folder from a network-attached device, see Access Shared Folders from a
Network-Attached Device on page 59.
3. Locate the snapshot data on the ReadyNAS.
Snapshot data is stored in a snapshot subfolder within the shared folder. Users who have read/write
access to the shared folder can explore the snapshot data and recover earlier versions of files or
folders.
Recover Data from a Snapshot to an iSCSI-Attached Device
Strictly speaking, users who access the ReadyNAS through an iSCSI-attached device do not have access
to snapshots. However, you can clone a snapshot of a LUN to become a ne w independent LUN, and then
assign the LUN clone to a LUN group that the users can access.
To recover data from the LUN clone, users must access the LUN clone from the same type of
iSCSI-attached device that was used to format the parent of the clone. For example, if the parent LUN
was formatted using a Windows device, users must access the LUN clone using a Windows device.
