Re: 6.6.1 Unable to access .Timemachine folder via Webinterface/Browser anymore
Oh what a pity, because it is annoying if the sparsebundles can only be manipulated over an AFP (or SMB) network access.
For example deleting a TimeMachine.sparsebundle was easily done over the webinterface, now it is a very time and resource consuming task.
Not to mention other advantages with the webinterface access - copying a sparsebundle to another path on the NAS for example before repairing it etc. or expanding the timemachine share.
Please Developers at Netgear enable the access via the webinterface asap again or the use with an Apple MacOS environment with NetGear-NAS solutions should be discouraged officially.
Under the current 6.6 and 6.7 ReadyOS the handling of timemachine.sparsebundles has become a tedious task.
Stephen thank you for your quality responses in the community - even on a sunday - although in this case the "non-solution" is depressing for me at the time being.
It leaves me clueless how to easily manage the sparse bundles when they have to be moved, repaired or other tasks for MacOS System backups.

FWIW, I PMed development folks, and asked about this change in behavior.
Personally I think the timemachine folder should be a hidden share instead of a normal folder. Then all the web UI functions (and all the file sharing protocols) are available if the admin needs them.
