ML and still get ".....TM must create a new backup.." error

4.2.23 has a newer version of Netatalk 2.2.x than 4.2.22. ReadyNAS OS uses Netatalk 3.0.x. Netatalk is used to provide the AFP/Time Machine services on the ReadyNAS and for the other NAS manufacturers.

Interestingly SMB2 will be the default file protocol on 10.9 Mavericks, but AFP can still be used to maintain compatibility for sharing files with Macs running recent versions of Mac OS X. I wonder whether Time Machine backups to a Mac OS X 10.9 Server or a Time Capsule will still use AFP or whether there will be the option to use SMB2? If SMB2 is used, I wonder whether an implementation of Time Machine support that uses SMB2 would work any better.

Does RAIDiator 4.2.23 support SMB2?

4.2.23 includes SAMBA 3.5.21 which I believe supports SMB2.

As far as I am aware it is SAMBA 3.6 which adds SMB2 support.

See https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba3/SMB2

This would fit in with a conversation I had recently with NetGear regarding SMB2 support, i.e. 4.2.x does not currently support it.

If someone has the time, the following article shows how to use WireShark to tell what version is supported and used between a client and server.

I see no reason why doing the same thing between a ReadyNAS and (any) client would not work.

Ah, I stand corrected then. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

TM has worked for a year flawlessly until about a month ago when I got this message and had no choice but to start over, then just today I can no longer access the TM disk in my NV+v2 at all, just a message that the disk can't be found. Nothing I have tried will allow TM to find the backup disk on my ReadyNAS.

So, with 10.8.5 and 4.2.24 still the same problem here.

Has there been an official statement as to where this problem is located? And if it will be addressed (and fixed)?
I have a hard time recommending readynas to my friends, when (for the user) simple and important features don't work as wished.

Is a solution in the works or do maybe other NAS something different, so that that could be a solution for me (and others)?

Or will 10.9 change something (or everything)?

An extra data point here. 2 MacBook Pros on my network, both running 10.9 currently. One is constantly successful, never sees the "must create new backup" message. The other one sees it every couple weeks. I have created several new backups. The successful machine has been successful in this regard using every version of OS X since TM was introduced and was supported on ReadyNAS. The unsuccessful machine was unsuccessful on 10.8 also. NV+ with RAIDiator 4.1.9 (I should probably upgrade that).

Yes, update to 4.1.12 or the 4.1.13 [RC1]: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=59222

There have been some changes since 4.1.9 that may help.

Are your Macs connected to your network via ethernet or wirelessly?

I too have this problem, and ONLY have it with my RN104

Every few weeks or so it up and spits out this error. My TM is configured for daily, not hourly backups, fwiw.

Considering it worked fine with other NAS products on my LAN, this isn't a problem with my MBP 10.7.5

Both AFP and SMB are turned on, and I am running 6.1.1
