How-to: Setup multi-Mac backup shares with quotas. Easy.
Over the last couple years, I've been backing up each of my Macs to the default ReadyNAS Time Machine share. It's been OK, aside from having to hack my sparse bundles to stop them from increasing in s...
I have also been getting the "OSStatus error 2." errors and also noticed that once we try and set up Time Machine the first time, after that I cannot even mount that share again.
I cannot say long term if this will hold, but I deleted the ".AppleVolumes" file and just went ahead with using the empty ".com.apple.timemachine.supported" file and now things seem to be working. This was on OSX 10.6.8 so has not been tested on 10.7+.
If others give this a try, please post feedback on successes or failures, and also what version of OSX you are running. It would be cool if all that needed to be done was to add this empty file.
*** I wanted to add that I just tested on 10.8 and this does NOT seem to work. I am going to try different things, and if anything works I will add to this thread. ***
