Mavericks + ReadyNas Duo + Time Machine
hi guys,
Im sure this has been covered before, seems to be a big problem that everyone is having at the moment but i cant find the answer.
I bought a ReadyNas Duo to back up with Time Machine running on Mavericks. My question is... How the bloody hell can i get it working!! Its been fine up until i upgraded to Mavericks!!
will there be a patch released soon or is there a fix?
Thanks everyone :)

- What version of RAIDiator are you running?
What happens when you try to do a TM backup? Do you get an error? - Hi Buddy!
Thanks for replying
I believe RAIDiator and Raidar are the same thing?? I have Raidar version 4.1.13
It tells me that the disk is already in use and sometimes it tells me its full which isnt the case :/
Ive tried rebooting, formatting, reinstalling etc... Still doesnt want to run anymore :/ - No. RAIDiator is the firmware you run on the ReadyNAS.
RAIDar is a discovery tool that runs on your Mac/PC.
So you have a Duo (v1): http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
So what happens when you try to do a TM backup, do you get an error? - hi again,
I just checked RAIDiator on the ReadyNAS its reading as v 4.1.13 must be the same info i saw in Raidar.
i believe i have Duo v1.
ill find out the errors it throws soon ;)
Cheers :) - ...ok... So after a few minutes it took for Time Machine to "Prepare Backups" i got this error message..
(No Backups for 16 Days
Check that "ReadyNas" is available
Or select a new disk)
the above seems to be a new error since last time.
What i used to get was something along the lines of "disk in use"
Any ideas? - Do you need your old TM backups?
Perhaps delete your TM backups and start afresh? - i tried that, i factory reset it, put on the latest firmware and it would just eventually do the same thing after a couple of days :( not sure what to do now...
- Did you put the latest firmware on before or after the factory reset?
What firmware version were you running previously? - hhhmmm... Good question, not sure what version firmware i was running previously, ill have to test that out.
When formatting it, i formatted it first, then put the latest firmware on ;) - What disks do you have installed?
Do you just use the NAS for Time Machine or other things as well?
