I wrote a while back here about how I’d set up my D-Link DNS-323 NAS to allow Time Machine backups from my two macs. All has been going well up to a few days ago when I was greeted with this dialog on my MacBook after an automated backup attempt:
Nothing has changed on my DNS-323 config-wise and my Mac Mini’s Time Machine still works fine, using exactly the same network share as my MacBook and the same username and password so I’m more than a little confused by this!
There are literally hundreds of google search results pointing to forum posts discussing this but they all seem to suggest the same thing; after trying the obvious (Use Disk Utility to repair the drive, done… Power off the drive and mac and restart them both, done….) just reformat your drive. I really don’t want to do this so I’m going to keep trying. Will report back my findings, but has anyone out there resolved this issue without a reformat?
Maybe this is the reason Apple turned off support for ‘unsupported’ network volumes afterall? I really hope not.
Any updates on this. I’m having the same issue.
‘fraid not… I’m almost at the point of deleting and recreating my drive image for this one. It’s frustrating as hell but have yet to find a solution.
