Go to Storage → Periodic Snapshot Tasks → Add Periodic Snapshot. By default, FreeNAS creates a snapshot every hour during business hours and keeps the snapshots for two weeks. Be sure to enable the “Recursive” option if you have created any datasets within datasets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Links of the Month** - [FreeBSD 11.2 RELEASE is available](https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.2R/announce/) - [BSD Now Episode 253: Silence of the fans](https://www.bsdnow.tv/253) - [FreeBSD New Core Team Elected](https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2018-July/001836.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### **Quote of the Month** “TrueNAS allowed us to virtualize everything we do in our manufacturing operations from just a single storage unit.
