"Virginizing" Time Machine
Hello fellow ReadyNAS users. I've been playing around with Time Machine on my ReadyNAS Duo for a while trying to correct my mistakes from my first set up. I.e. I initially didn't use the correct TM...
Alright, so I removed the contents of the "bands" folder in .Timemachine (see screenshot above) as the files in it seemed to be from an old backup and were taking up much space.
This should have freed up 199 GB, which was also confirmed by frontview. (10% less space used). So far so good.
Did a reboot with a quota check.
I then tried to start TM again. But, it still stops just after "Preparing Backup" saying it needs more space.
What is wrong here? Is something still not compatible with Lion?
Would still appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks.
