Problem with Yosemite?
I just upgraded a few days ago and now my time machine will not even recognize the drive, let alone back up to it. I saw people having issues with cloud sync or something and Yosemite, but I am just trying normal back ups with time machine. Any suggestions?

- swsellersAspirantI am unable to get to my TimeMachine backup on my ReadyNas Ultra 4 Plus after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10. RaidAR no longer works, as well. Any suggestions?
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredWhat version of RAIDiator are you running?
As for RAIDar that depends on an old version of Java which needs to be installed again after a major OS X update. - ezlotoguraAspirantI can log in thru a browser and see my system via RAIDiator with no issue. I can play music files off the drives. I know the drives are working. But time machine will not see the drives to even attempt a back up.
I just installed new firmware on the NAS about 2 weeks ago, and a few days later installed Yosemite then the issues occurred. So the NAS is on the latest firmware. - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredSo, just to confirm your NAS is running 4.1.14?
- ezlotoguraAspirantCorrect - cut and paste from my screen: RAIDiator 4.1.14 [1.00a043]
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredCan you send me your logs (see link in my sig)?

thank you - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredLooks like it is having trouble getting the quota for the Time Machine user.
Your WD 1.5TB Green disks are not on the compatibility list and have very high load cycle counts. One of your disks (disk 1) has over 100 ATA errors.
Do you have an up to date backup? - ezlotoguraAspirantUp to date backup of the NAS? no. I've tried backing it up a few times to an external HD and it almost always failed. Should I buy new Hard drives and replace them (hot swap) 1 at a time? Is that my only hope here?
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredWell disk 1 certainly needs replacing.
The way forward would depend on how important your data is to you.
