Time Machine

I got a ReadyNas Pro with frimware 6.10.1; my timemachine was setup with an old Firmware. Was working with no problems at all. Today my older IMac hadn't done it's backup. I tried to see if Timemachine was being advertised on the network, nothing. I looked at backup-> timemachine. I stop the serviced and then restarted the service. I got a crasy error.

 

Can not enable time machine. only supported with authentication type is local user.

 

How can this be? Been using this with a server for years. Now, I can't enble Time machine because I'm not using a local authentication.

      It's not a windows machine, but yes. I rebooted. Same error.

       

      I looked into a private Time machine. Because of the message it shouldn't work. Well, it did work. Which means theres a bug somewhere. Someone should look into it.
