However, you might be able to copy the file where you were doing your TM backups (the sparsebundle file) to an external drive that you can connect via Firewire. Then you ought to be able to restore the hard drive from that image.
I don't have any knowledge about restoring from one version of the MBA to another. If there are actual hardware differences between the two machines the restore may not work either at all or properly. But first things first. See if you can get the drive restored. (FWIW, I've done it from an external Firewire drive and it worked perfectly.)
Good luck.
Neither one of my Macs have firewire -- Apple discontinued firewire on new Macbooks and never had it on the Macbook Air.
Do you know if Apple has directions on how to restore from a Time Machine backup housed on Time Capsule? If they do, I guess I could try that. However, at this point I just want to know if anyone has done this and if so, can he/she post step-by-step directions?
Also, this question was addressed to Netgear developers as well as to the community. Since Netgear have made this functionality into a supported feature, are you guys planning to release instructions on how to restore from a Time Machine backup?
