Hey all,
I have a synology, and trying to juggle storage capacity of my backups. I have backups set to run daily, and settings to keep versions for a certain period of time. I also have snapshots set up on my backup folder, set to run at certain intervals and to keep versions for a certain period of time. This has created a huge storage concern, as my snapshots are filling up my storage capacity. I have gone in and tried to reduce the number or stored snapshots, but my snapshots are still huge...the same size as my backups.
I can always buy more storage, but I don't want to waste money if I am doing something silly with my retention policies. But I also don't want to leave myself exposed if hackers were to delete my backups and I should have done something more with my snapshots.
