Problem
In Windows File Explorer, I opened a NAS shared folder's Previous Versions (by right-clicking the folder and going to Properties > Previous Versions), but I could not see any of the snapshots that should be there.
Solution
To see snapshots in a NAS shared folder in Previous Versions in Windows File Explorer—and therefore be able to restore files from the snapshots—ensure that all of the following settings are enabled on the NAS:
- Log in to your NAS operating system.
- Enable the "@Recently-Snapshot" folder for all shared folders.
- Go to Storage & Snapshots > Global Settings > Snapshots > Snapshot Access in File Station.
- Enable Snapshot folder in each shared folder.
- Click Apply.
- Enable Windows Previous Versions on the shared folder.
- Go to Control Panel > Privilege > Shared Folders > Shared Folder.
- Identify the shared folder for which you want to enable Windows Previous Versions.
- Under Action, click the Edit Properties icon.
The Edit Properties window opens. - Select Enable Windows Previous Versions.
- Click OK.
- Allow symbolic links within shared folders and between different shared folders.
- Go to Control Panel > Network & File Services > Win/Mac/NFS/WebDAV > Microsoft Networking.
- Click Advanced Options.
The Advanced Options window opens. - Select Allow symbolic links within a shared folder.
- Select Allow symbolic links between different shared folders.
- Click Apply.
