Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS
The step-by-step how-to can be found here.
Time Machine on the Readynas is sweet!
Did a totally new clean install of Leopard--erased the disk--and it was so simple to restore files. Restoring apps is a little more difficult, since you have to restore both the app file as well as any other related--preference files etc. For most apps, I just reinstalled them, then just restored the settings file.
Two issues I came across: After I installed leopard, I tried connecting to my TM share on the ReadyNAS, but TM couldn't see or connect to the sparsebundle. Then it occurred to me that my new computer name was not the same as I had previously--now it was "Yachtmans Power PC G5". I changed it back to my previous name "Power PC G5" and woila!--TM connected to the bundle and my old files were visible.
The other issue was that my previous leopard install was just "HFS+ Journaled". So when I went to turn on TM to start adding to the backups, I got an error saying that my machine was "Case sensitive" while my backup bundle was not. Okay. So after getting all of the files I needed, I started over and created a new TM bundle that is now "HFS+ Journaled Case-sensitive".
Time Machine is in my opinion, leagues above any other backup solution in simplicity and features.... Go Apple!
