Snapshot
Snapshot is a function that automatically backs up volume data at a certain point. Unlike usual backup copies,
this function only copies differential data from the source volume data. Therefore, the disk space necessary for
backup is reduced.
Acquiring snapshots of the NAS user volume enables file restore from a snapshot even if a file is deleted by mis-
take. Data can be restored from a client.
