Now that the Time Machine backup to the ReadyNAS is no longer a hack but a supported feature, are there any instructions on how to restore after a hard drive crash? I am not talking about restoring a particlular file from the Time Machine backup but rather restoring the entire Time Machine backup to either a clean hard drive or to a clean OS X install?
There has been a lot of effort made by this community as well as by Netgear to get the Time Machine backup feature working with the ReadyNAS. However, all those efforts are not worth much if the full restore from Time Machine is not possible.
If it is possible, can the instructions be posted?
Also, is it possible to restore the Time Machine backup to a different Mac? For instance, if I replace my Macbook Air (Rev A) with Macbook Air (Rev B), can I restore my Time Machine backup to the new Macbook Air?
