ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Item Continuous Protection Description Select the Continuous Protection check box to enable data protection through snapshots and configure how often snapshots are taken. By default, the Continuous Protection check box is selected. For more information about snapshots, see Chapter 5, Snapshots. Interval The interval specifies how often a snapshot is made. Make a selection from the drop-down list: • Hourly. A snapshot is taken every hour on the hour. • Daily. A snapshot is taken every day at midnight. This is the default setting. • Weekly. A snapshot is taken every week on Friday at midnight. Provision Select how storage space is provisioned. Make a selection from the drop-down list: • Thin. Even though you specify the size of the LUN when you create it, storage space is assigned on demand instead of up front. The size of the LUN is reported as the total storage space that you specify when you create the LUN. • Thick. All storage space that you specify when you create the LUN is also allocated up front. The size of the LUN is reported as the total storage space that you specify when you create the LUN. This is the default method. Note: Make sure that you watch the volume capacity of the volume on which the overallocated LUN resides so you do not run out of storage space unexpectedly. Note: NETGEAR recommends that you do not use an overallocated thin LUN for storage of critical data. Instead, use a thick LUN. Size Specify the size of the LUN. The maximum size that you can allocate to the LUN is stated at the bottom of the screen. Unit Select the unit of measurement from the drop-down list: • MB. • GB. This is the default unit of measurement. • TB. 4. Click the Create button. The ReadyNAS confirms the creation of a LUN with the message "Folder or LUN successfully created." 5. Click the OK button.
