Time Machine 2tb limit?

Thanks. I can get it running fine as long as the backup is going to be less than 4TB (now, 2TB before). It is just that Frontview and the ReadyNAS limit the size for some reason.

Thanks for the tip on the naming, fortuitously I had used: MacPro-DQC.sparsebundle so I don't think that is the issue. I can create the sparsebundle on the Mac, even copy the 6TB sparse image over to the ReadyNAS, but can't get Time Machine to recognize it.

Using the Frontview method, it has no problem backup up as long as it is under 4TB.

Strange.

Check out: http://www.readynas.com/?p=253 I have 3 mac's all running this way with custom-sized sparsebundles and custom permissions. Not over 2 or 4TB, but I have read of at least one user successfully doing just that by this same method. Note: If you're using Snow Leopard, take care regarding the sparsebundle naming convention as it appears to have changed (no ethernet address in the name)
