Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS
The step-by-step how-to can be found here.
I had previously gone through the manual process of creating the sparsebundle and all the Terminal jiggery pokery that went with it, which was working fine until I updated RAIDiator to 4.1.5 to fix a problem with PS3 uPnP, now my MacBook cannot connect to the Time Machine backup I created. I noticed Time Machine listed in the Backup section of the ReadyNAS menus so decided to set that up, it looks to be creating a new backup from scratch.
My questions are - what happened to the old sparsebundle that I created? If it's no longer in use (I do not need it as a backup if the new one works) then can I safely delete it?
On my Backup share there is a sparsebundle folder with a date stamp of 21st March, probably the last time I ran Time Machine (meh, I'm lazy. It's not critical data anyway, just a laptop I use now and then). Could this be my old sparsebundle? I cannot see anything else on the Backup share when using the Finder.
Bonus question: is there any way to safely integrate this old Time Machine data with the new one?
Thanks!
