Remove and restart Time machine backup
Hi I have run ReadyNAS Duo v1 for several years and used it also for Time Machine backup for two Macs with little problems. The machine is getting full and I need to remove Time Machine backups and ...
Thanks again for your advice!
Actually for item a) above I managed get around problems with "token" by simply
restart NAS and Mac a few times - and could delete the sparse bundle successfully.
For item b) I have managed to un-lock the file from the ReadyNAS account.
But I cannot change permissions.
And I cannot delete it either, which I could we the other sparsebundle.
Get complains about I do not have permissions.
Followed your advice to login as admin through CIFS and look in folder C.
Here I do not know how to see the hidden file .timemachine.
I tried to change settings in Macs Finder using terminal:
$ defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
and re-launch Finder but did not help me see hidden files.
Is there some setting on the NAS to make hidden files visible?
