Hi loco42

We have a Mac mini late 2012 running on High Sierra 10.13.2 which is currently using Time machine on a ReadyNAS 312 without any issues. I do not think there are any issues with Time machine on ReadyNAS system.

The post you shared seems to be resolved through a few steps provided in the last post of the thread. Also, this link provided steps on how to correctly setup the time machine.

What issues are you encountering? Make sure you recheck the steps you've done on using the ReadyNAS system for your Time Machine backups.

Kindly check this article.

How do I back up data from Mac OS X to my ReadyNAS OS 6 system using Shared Time Machine?

Regards

Hello Marc,

thank you so much for your answer. I have been trying for days now with the "private time machine" setup on my RN3138. It would always work just until finalizing then it would fail. I tried lots of other strategies from the net on how to set up your own sparsebundle etc. Nothing worked.

I never thought about testing with the provided "shared time machine" option as described in the link that you posted. And it works. I don't know why the private one would fail. Maybe I will try again one day but as of now I'm happy with the solution.

Thanks again & all the best
Loco
