Can't delete sparsebundle
I have been having problems with my Macbook Pro backing up to my ReadyNAS Duo since I came back from a trip. I realized I was inadvertently backing up VMWare Fusion images as part of the backup and...
Some more details. I have a ReadyNAS NV with its latest Radiator v 4.1.8.
Security mode set to SHARE.
I read somewhere that changing to USER might fix things. But It will probably cause me other issues. like the need for setting up all sorts of login credentials that I dont want to have to do.
NAS has 835 GB (61%) of 1368 GB used & 531 GB Free.
Time Machine capacity is set to 400GB of (523GB Max)
Timecapsule backup from macbookpro (300GB) continually fails after running for an hour or so then saying insufficient space and something like 80GB required and only 50GB available. but it should fit.
So I figure there may be an old sparsebundle or something else hidden in the c share I need to delete to free space. But after getting nowhere with this now for about a day I am probably going to give up and back the mac up to a USB drive. But if I go down this path it seems there is no way to recover the space on the ReadyNAS NV short of factory resetting it and losing all my PC backups. As I understand it disabling time machine in radiator will not recover the space - is that correct?
net use t: \\198.168.1.200\c /user:admin gives system error 53 network path not found from both my win7 and xp machines.
Have tried changing admin pw in the hope it might bring the c share back into view for me.
