Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS
The step-by-step how-to can be found here.
Hello all,
I use a ReadyNAS (RAIDiator 4.1.4 [1.00a042]) and my Macs are runnig Leopard 10.5.6. I would like to run Time Machine using the NAS... Following, the tricks given on TimeMachine page, I succeded in creating a sparsebundle on a dedicated partition on the ReadyNAS... all was fine.
The problem occured when starting TimeMachine : I experienced a strange error message : Time Machine gave me an error window saying : "Unable to create the file "/var/db/.TimeMachine.cookie" ! ! :?
The name of my Machine is "Hutte" and my account name is "Panoramix". You can see here the details on the screenshot I took to show you the problem . Any help would be appreciated ;-)
