Time Machine using OSX Mavericks
Update: Please check you are running new enough firmware first: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=409701#p409701
Hello there,
I have a Macbook Air running OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) backing with Time Machine to my Readynas Ultra (x86). Everything works, no issues. I also have a development laptop running the latest developer build of Mavericks (dp8) and on this machine, I can't get Time Machine to work. The laptop sees the Time Machine shares over AFP and I can browse the entire contents of the Readynas through Finder. When I open the Time Machine application and hit "select disk," it recognizes the ReadyNas Time Machine share and offers it as a backup option. But when I click the share, it says "connecting" and then I get the following error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'XYZ.' The server may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Any thoughts?
Does anyone out there have a Mavericks machine backing up through Time Machine to an x86 ReadyNas?

I don't know what problem has now been resolved for you but having read your post, I installed RAIDiator 4.1.13 (RC1) and decided to install Mavericks on a partition I use to store media and when I tried to connect to Time Machine I got the following error:
Time Machine can't access the disk "ReadyNAS".
The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2).
I'm just glad I didn't install Mavericks on my main drive.Svendus wrote: Will you make an update fore RAIDiator 4.2.19 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus ?
After RAIDiator 4.2.24 Firmvare uppdate ]Lion
Maveriks on the same NAS
ERROR Translation:- There was a problem while connecting
to server "NAS".
The server may not exist or is currently unavailable
moment. Check the server name or IP address and
your network connection and try again.- This fix worked for me.
Updated to RAIDiator 4.1.13 [RC1]. Did a hard (power-off) restart.
Time machine now works with both my new 10.9 Mavericks machine and my old 10.6.8 snow leopard one. (Well, will backup at least. I haven't tried restoring anything yet.)

That didn't work for me; I got the same error as before.Svendus wrote: Will you make an update fore RAIDiator 4.2.19 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus ?
There is a 4.2.25 RC1: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=70385- ReadyNAS NV+, RAIDiator 4.1.12 [1.00a043]:
my "Mid 2011" Mac Mini running Mavericks (upgraded from Mountain Lion) works for Backup and appears to be working ok for restore from the simple test I just tried.
my new "late 2013" MacBook Pro with Mavericks out of the box gives me the Connecting screen for around 45 seconds and then the "There was a problem connecting to the server “holly”." error.... - Dave, if you try 4.1.13 RC1 does that help?

I'm getting a bit confused with all the different configurations in this thread.
For clarity, can I please ask if 4.1.13 (RC1) is supposed to be compatible with Time Machine on Mavericks? I'm getting mixed messages from earlier posts and it isn't working for me.
