Mavericks + ReadyNas Duo + Time Machine

[flashx]

hi guys,

Im sure this has been covered before, seems to be a big problem that everyone is having at the moment but i cant find the answer.

I bought a ReadyNas Duo to back up with Time Machine running on Mavericks. My question is... How the bloody hell can i get it working!! Its been fine up until i upgraded to Mavericks!!

will there be a patch released soon or is there a fix?


Thanks everyone 🙂

What version of RAIDiator are you running?

What happens when you try to do a TM backup? Do you get an error?

Hi Buddy!

Thanks for replying

I believe RAIDiator and Raidar are the same thing?? I have Raidar version 4.1.13

It tells me that the disk is already in use and sometimes it tells me its full which isnt the case 😕

Ive tried rebooting, formatting, reinstalling etc... Still doesnt want to run anymore 😕

No. RAIDiator is the firmware you run on the ReadyNAS.

RAIDar is a discovery tool that runs on your Mac/PC.

So you have a Duo (v1): http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/

So what happens when you try to do a TM backup, do you get an error?

hi again,

I just checked RAIDiator on the ReadyNAS its reading as v 4.1.13 must be the same info i saw in Raidar.

i believe i have Duo v1.

ill find out the errors it throws soon 😉

Cheers 🙂

...ok... So after a few minutes it took for Time Machine to "Prepare Backups" i got this error message..

(No Backups for 16 Days
Check that "ReadyNas" is available
Or select a new disk)

the above seems to be a new error since last time.

What i used to get was something along the lines of "disk in use"


Any ideas?

Do you need your old TM backups?

Perhaps delete your TM backups and start afresh?

i tried that, i factory reset it, put on the latest firmware and it would just eventually do the same thing after a couple of days 😞 not sure what to do now...

[mdgm-ntgr]

Did you put the latest firmware on before or after the factory reset?

What firmware version were you running previously?

[flashx]

hhhmmm... Good question, not sure what version firmware i was running previously, ill have to test that out.

When formatting it, i formatted it first, then put the latest firmware on 😉

What disks do you have installed?

Do you just use the NAS for Time Machine or other things as well?
