I am new to setting up a FreeNas system. Now that things are working with sharing and my users have access to files, I am ready to run snapshots then store them offsite.
Here is what I don't understand. I did a manual snapshot of a dataset with 236mb of data. This was the first snapshot and it was 1.42 mb. I took two snapshots from other datasets manually. One dataset was 550 Gb and the snapshot is 504 kb. The last one was 1.1 tb and the snapshot was 2.4 mb. I get this data from the snapshot tab of the web interface. Am I not understanding what the interface is showing or did I do something wrong? Shouldn't the first snapshot be about the size of the dataset?
