Hi giosheringam
When you tried to manually search using AFP, did it prompt for credentials or did not found the IP you entered?
You should be able to locate the Sparse bundle since the NAS is online, there might be other reason why we cannot connect to the NAS to get the Time Machine backup. i.e. The MAC not connected on the Network or is not on the same Network.

Hope this helps!

Hi
when I manually entered the address via "enter server manually" I wasn't prompted the credentials, it tried to load the disk, put it on the list of the possible sources but then sent the message "impossible to access the server".
My backup is in a private time machine, I don't know if it could matter.
Thanks for the article.
