Snapshot advantages
QNAP uses block-based snapshot technology to support up to 32 snapshots for each volume or LUN, up to 256 snapshots. Schedule snapshots
hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly to assist in saving space and reserve snapshots for future use. Additionally, Snapshot Agent ensures
data integrity on locked or open files while taking snapshots.
