Time Machine fails most of the time on one Mac
Since updating to Lion and the new firmware (RAIDiator 4.1.8 [1.00a043] ) for my ReadyNAS duo one of my Macs, and only one, frequently fails to backup successfully. The error message Time Machine ulti...
I have the same problem.
I use the ReadyNAS duo with 2 Macs. Both Lion. One Macbook Pro (the one that fails) and a iMac (the one that works reliably). Both hard-wired.
Time Machine will mount the disk. It shows up as ReadyNAS on the desktop. I can also browse to with Finder. I can see the sparsebundle.
You could virtually copy/paste the OP thread and change the name of the sparsebundle and it would be the same post.
Even the "work-around" steps are the same. Mashing the "Back Up now" after a failure (works about 5% of the timer less).
I'd add 'Rebooting the ReadyNas' also results in getting the back-up to start to my "work-around steps" although that is not 100%.
Very strange. Did not have this problem before Lion and the new Lion-approved Firmware ... but other than that I got nothing. Very strange still that I don't have this problem on another Lion machine. I've deleted and re-created my Sparsebundle more than once "just in case" but it didn't help.
