A little help please;
I'm running FreeNAS-11.1-U7 and I'm writing up a How To for people when I'm not available to do the maintenance/upkeep myself.
I'm at the point where I'm detailing recovery of files from the .recycle bin, but I'm a bit stumped. I don't know how to actually recover files from the .recycle bin. I've never had to do it myself and therefore have never investigated the process.
I've tried dragging and dropping (doesn't work as the recovered files are 0 bytes and useless). Tried to right click on the file, but no "recover" option available. I've searched the forums, but nothing came up that details the process. Only a lot of "I've deleted files, I never set up the recycle bin or snapshots - how do I recover files" type questions. I've searched the user manual (version 11.1-U7) and the only reference to "recycle" is how to set it up, deleted files go into it, reclaiming space by emptying it, controlled by SMB share options. Absolutely nothing on how to recover files from it (unless it's called something else in the user manual).
I know that the .recycle bin is just a location of where the file previously existed. So I'm not sure what to do at this point. A little help would be appreciated.
FYI, I do not have snapshots enabled. That's important for you to know when replying. And if I need to set up snapshots to recover files, a little help (point in the right direction) would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for anyone that helps. I know this is a legacy OS, and I might not hear back anything. So your help is greatly appreciated.
