I'd assume so. Depending on how it was done for use on the router,
you might need to re-initialize your (unspecified) "my backup hard

you have trouble, attack it using Disk Utility.
Netgear having yanked the feature from its router(s) does not stop
Time Machine from working; it means only that storage which is attached
to the router(s) can't be used.
