Well some success I'm please to report. I followed the instructions and created the two files, and my wife's MacBook is now in the process of backing up via Time Machine.
Just one problem now! My iMac is not doing the hourly TM back ups - it says Backup Delayed… and when I try Back up Now - Time Machine could not complete the backup. the backup disc is not available. I have tried reselecting the NAS, and logged in again, but then I get the 'The operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)'
Does this mean that I will have to follow the same procedure as with the MacBook? Or can I only back up one Mac at a time?
If I have to start again which TM files can I delete from the NAS?
Thanks again for any help.
