Tip on Entering correct information to ensure TM can find your NAS
Just been trying to reconfigure my set up.
I have had a Duo V1 working quite happily backing up via TM however I decided to carry out a bit of housekeeping following the failure of an Ext HDD I was using with my Macbook.
Although you can change your user name and password to anything you like. To login and successfully select your NAS drive, the name used for TM to find your NAS is fixed and you should always enter 'ReadyNAS' and then you should enter the password you used when setting up TM via Raidiator. Otherwise TM will not find your NAS and will give you the OSStatus 2.0 error message.
This seems illogical when you can change your username and password but there it is.
Seems so obvious when the username on the TM setup screen in Raidiator is greyed out so it is always 'ReadyNAS' but this can easily trip you up as it did me for hours.
