I really miss the option on the new GUI to be able to select which snapshot tasks are used for 'Restore Previous Versions.' I'm sure there was a reason they removed it, but I really need help here. I haven't tried downgrading to 9.10.2 again, but I'm sure that will work normally as it did for so long. I've attached an example of the difference between the FreeNAS GUI and 'Restore Previous Versions.' Both show the snapshots randomly, although each version showed different individual snapshots on the same day (Like 11.3-U5 showed 6AM, 10AM, 2PM, 12.0 showed 7AM, 8AM, 10AM, 1PM, all from the same snapshots taken in the GUI). I've also tried downgrading to 11.3-U5, same issue. The snapshots are being taken correctly in the TrueNAS GUI, but the ones that make it to 'Restore Previous Versions' are random. I have about a year's worth of snapshots, taken hourly, 5 days a week), letting snapshots be created and then setting up the SMB share, I was able to get some to show.īut it's now completely random what shows in Windows. I like the updated GUI, it seems to do most things better.Īnyway, a MAJOR issue I ran into is that Windows' 'Restore Previous Versions' is only partially randomly working.Īt first, the previous versions didn't show up at all, but after a bunch of fiddling around, recreating new periodic snapshot tasks, deleting and recreating my SMB shares, cleaning up old snapshots (short of deleting them all. Everything seems to be working well, mostly the learning curve with the new GUI and how things are done. So after running on FreeNAS 9.10.2-U6 for approximately the past 8 years, I decided to update to 11.3-U5 and TrueNAS 12. Join the iXsystems team - Interested in working at iXsystems?
