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.

Did you try rebooting
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.

... And this isn't a solution, it's a work around.
Agreed, it would be a workaround. I never suggested it was a windows machine - FWIW, I was meaning to ask if you'd tried rebooting the NAS.

You could use paid support for this - that would start troubleshooting. Or send a PM to one of the mods ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) and ask them if Netgear wants to access your system remotely and take a look.
