How do I roll back to a snapshot using the timeline on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?
You can use the snapshot timeline to locate and roll back to snapshots of shared folders and LUNs.
WARNING: Rolling back is a destructive process. All snapshots that were taken after the selected snapshot are deleted.
To roll back to a snapshot using the snapshot timeline:
1. Select Shares > Timeline.
The snapshot timeline displays.
Shared folders and LUNs that have snapshots display on the left of the screen.
2. Select the shared folder or LUN whose snapshots you want to view.
3. Locate the snapshot using the controls on the timeline.
Automatic snapshots are displayed as gray marker icons (
) along the timeline.
Manual snapshots are displayed as blue marker icons (
) along the timeline.
-
The timeline centers on the zoom icon (
) as you zoom in and out. You can move the zoom icon by clicking anywhere along the timeline. Moving the zoom icon establishes a new center of focus when you zoom in and out. -
Adjust the vertical slider on the right of the timeline as needed. To expand the timeline to years, click the + icon. To limit the timeline to hours, click the - button.
-
Use the arrow buttons to the left and right of the timeline as needed to move forward in time (right arrow button) or back in time (left arrow button) in time.
Tip: Click the clock icon (
) that is located in the middle of the Snapshot screen under the name of the selected folder or LUN. A calendar pop-up screen displays, allowing you to jump to a desired month and date.
4. On the snapshot timeline, select the snapshot that you want to roll back to.
5. From the pop-up menu that displays, select Rollback.
6. Confirm that you want to roll back to the selected snapshot by typing DELETE DATA in the pop-up screen that displays.
7. Click the Rollback button.
The shared folder or LUN is rolled back to the snapshot that you selected.
