A few times a day, Time Machine reports this error:
For some reason, it can't seem to auto-connect to my ReadyNAS 104. If I browse to the ReadyNAS share in Finder, which causes it to reconnect, and then force a Time Machine backup... it works fine. I'm currently running OSX 10.9.2 and ReadyNas firmware 6.1.7. Any ideas?
I get that, too, except my system won't *find* the readynas Time Machine. I just updated to 6.1.8 and it still does it. I try and start a backup, I get "Looking for Backup Disk" via Time Machine and ultimately it times out with "The Backup Disk Could Not Be Found." I've had to delete my Time Machine backup over and over because the ReadyNAS just doesn't handle it well. When it's an 8TB backup, we're talking 6-7 days of continuous data.
I am getting this issue aswell. I have setup a readynas 316 for a friend. They have a new MacBook Pro retina and it was able to do a full time machine backup (500gb) but it's not completing the regular updates without stuffing around. Keeps getting that box as listed above. This is very frustrating as it was a key feature when I recommended the readynas. I have a readynas ultra 4bay from a few years ago and it has been pretty much flawless with time machine backups.
I'm running ReadyNAS OS 6.1.9 and OSX Yosemite now and I don't think I've run into this issue in awhile. Not sure which upgrade fixed it, unfortunately.
Yeah wireless Using the new almond plus over ac. Had no dramas doing the initial sync of 500gb and was able to send 460gb directly over wireless to a share running at about 50MB/s average with no drop outs.
Shall arrange for the logs to be emailed tomorrow night. Thanks for your help.
Looks like you were right. They sent me a new beta firmware to test and issues are gone. Backing up like a charm. Thanks for your help. Out of curiosity which log file tells you about the wifi/time machine issues? I had a look through them and couldn't find anything.
I see the same connect issue. It started happening in Maveriks and continues with Yosemite. I think it only happens on Wifi. At least my last backup worked fine on ethernet.
