I installed Mavericks on 2 macs (macbook pro and iMac). both continued to backup without installing the beta. I have not tried restoring a file though.
I ran out of space and went ahead and deleted my sparse bundles and increased my Time Machine allocation to 2000GB.
I also upgraded to 4.1.12.
my iMac continues to backup just fine. i am mounting by AFP as well.
for some reason on my macbook, i deleted the backup disk in the time machine system preferences. I don't know why i did this.
I do see the ReadyNAS drive, but it never connects successfully when i try to "use disk" the error i get is "There was a problem connecting to the server"
so i upgraded to 4.1.13 RC1
the same issue occurs on the macbook. the iMac continues to function. it seems to be a problem when trying to select the disk as the backup disk.
hope that helps. if you need more information, i'm happy to provide whatever logs you may want.
oh, one last thing. on my iMac, Time Machine says i have 2.1 TB of 5.8TB available. i thought Time Machine had a limit of 2TB. also, my allocation to time machine is only 2000GB so why would it see the whole 5.8TB?
