Increasing Time Machine backup capacity on ReadyNAS 104

Hi-

 

Is there a way to increase Time machine capacity on my ReadyNAS104 WITHOUT deleting my former Time Machine backups?  Alternatively, if one HAS to delete the old "sparse bundle", is there any way to save it for use by Time Machine?  Thanks!

      Thanks.  That appears to require deleting the old backups, which i want to avoid.

      • Sorry, page 244.

        Well, if the manual says you "must" do it, then I don't know what else you can do.

        I don't use the feature myself, so maybe there is a trick. Let's see if someone else replies...

        If you want to increase the size of the sparse bundle, you must delete the sparse bundle and create a new Time Machine backup.
