Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS

RE: Backup Volume Could not be Mounted Not being able to mount the volume usually (not always) refers to the sparseimage not being mountable rather than the NAS share. Please can you try the following: Mount the share that you've configured to be used by timemachine Open a finder window showing the share & the created sparsebundle Force TM to start and watch to see if another sparsebundle is created then deleted on the share (will appear & disappear in finder) If you do see the creation & deletion of a sparsebundle, then it means you have somehow got the name of your original manually create sparsebundle incorrect. ///P

thanks, before your post, i unmounted the shares and remounted. Seems to be working now but I'll know for sure in a few hours of copying. Perhaps I mounted the wrong disk (1 is labelled AFP on NAS-02-... and the other NAS-02-..? On my desktop I now see a "backup of xxx" being created. I am backing up to NAS-02... ) or they just needed to be reset somehow.
