Where are the Time Machine backups stored

So had a hard drive issue and had to replace it. Does anyone know where or how i can access the backups on my ReadyNAS? There are also some old backups from previous machines I want to remove so being able to find them would mean more space....yay!
I use Raidar but can't locate them, any help would be great!

Thanks
