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?
It should work exactly like a Time Capsule. If the Mac is connected to the network by Ethernet or AirPort, the ReadyNas Time Capsule share should be listed as a restore option when you boot with the OS X 10.5 installation DVD.
