ReadNas 314 Timemachine backups stopped ReadyNAS 314
I have been using ReadyNAS for taking private timemachine backups and it was running smooth for several months. The backups stopped happening in the last week of May. I have been trying to figure ou...
It is certainly not the IP address issue. I can use the NAS with "SMB shared folders" without any issues. But Timemachine uses AFP, and that is where I have the problem.

Have you tried to create a regular share using AFP and connect to that, apart from TimeMachine?
Tried creating an AFP share... but it does not allow me to create one. the error message is "Failed to create share. Please verify that the share name is valid and unique" Code 101305001
I am using plain text (alphabets only, without any spaces) for the share name, which works for an SMB share. Also verified that the name is unique. So I dont think the error message is accurate
It also can't match any hidden shares created by the NAS for its own purposes. You didn't mention what name(s) you tried, but avoid "timemachine". ;) But if you're unable to do this then it lijkeoy something's messed up in the config files related to AFP.
I tried share names such as "TestShare", "TestShareSJ", "AFPtesting". All of them throw the same error.
So far, I have tried (1) rebooting the NAS (2) Upgrading the firmware version. Neither of them fix the issue. I am not sure if its problem just with AFP config, since I was not allowed to edit a users account (Modify a users group). I am logged in as admin. This has nothing to do with AFP I believe.
