Reviewing Time Machine Backups
After mounting the ReadyNAS share, does anyone know how I can review in detail what is in that image? I can't seem to browse via a terminal session (root acccess?) and mounting it etc doens't reveal ...
I'm looking for the proper terminal commands to reset the permissions and browse via this method. This issue requires something with advmaved experience in this area.
So what are the permissions set to for the sparsebundle now? Have you checked how much space it is using e.g. using du?
When you say you are using the Terminal are you using the local Terminal on your Mac to browse the mounted Time Machine backup destination or are you using the Terminal to SSH into the NAS and look that way?
If you suspect the permissions are messed up can you describe what happened to cause this?
I'd love info on how to SSH in. I just mounted the ReadyNAS partition and tried Finder and Terminal commands (DU wasnt' working for me). I have a belief that the older backups are still there and if I could get to them, I could retrieve a file. I had seen some instructions onilne that were close to what I needed but more about repairing a bad backup. hoping to actually browse all that is stored in that partition.
This is a great article:
