Offsite Backup of NAS TimeMachine
Ok so I use my ReadyNAS as a TimeMachine location, along with other storage tasks. But the issue I have is related to backing up the TimeMachine portion of the NAS to a smaller but suitable HDD to pro...
Well I managed to access it the same way through CIFS as well.
The odd thing is before I setup to use the ReadyNAS as my time-machine location I would have the device NAS-NAME (AFP) in the finder side-bar. After setting up time-machine on the NAS I have that entry along with just NAS-NAME in the finder sidebar. But I can't access anything with the second device entry. Would be nice to have just the one, preferable without the connection format tagged on the end. Interesting when the time-machine sparsebundle mounts there is no indication which share or device format is in use at the time as is the case with the general user shares.
