Hi Folks, pulling hair out!
MacOSX 10.8.3
ReadyNAS NV+
Firmware 4.1.10
Raidar 4.3.4
Standard TM setup worked fine but I needed to add ability to TM to a user or share so followed above instructions.
Couple of points to note: I had ReadyNAS set to 'Share' in Security Mode (and I added shares there previously) so I switched it to 'User' mode.
It won't let me add same user as I added as a share so I added another user... fine.
I then created the two txt files
.AppleVolumes with "/c/home/Mark ReadyNAS cnidscheme:dbd allow:Mark options:tm"
and .com.apple.timemachine.supported as a blank
I left 'Enable Time Machine Support' in the Backup menu set to on (or TM wont see the ReadyNAS at all.)
I select "ReadyNAS" in TM list and log in a the user i set able. It gives me an Error 2.
Any help appreciated!
