Cannot log into server to give Time Machine access (ReadyNAS RN212)
What is my "name and password for the server" so that Time Machine can access it? The username and password I created when enabling Time Machine isn't working. I've also tried my ReadyNAS cloud crede...
Hi Sensei, thanks for the reply. When you say "this is the account to use" are you referring to the username and password in the Time Machine popup dialog (highlighted in attached screenshot)? If yes, those credentials fail when trying to connect Time Machine to the ReadyNAS server. I know those are the correct credentials because I needed them to switch from AFP to SMB.
Any other ideas?

No, AFP or SMB as well as the username and password are config options - this is not an additional login or authentication here.
So the username / password that I highlighted in the last screenshot is the one used to connect to the ReadyNAS server?
