    Time Machine problems and questions

    I am now getting the message "The network backup disk does not support the required capabilities." The backup disk is a TrueNAS partition. It has been working for a year and in fact, it worked just yesterday but the backup didn't finish. The last successful backup was 2/26. I have it backing...

    Using router-mounted USB ext drive for Time Machine?

    Hi all, I've been using a Time Capsule with Time Machine for backups for the last forever, but I'm getting ready to upgrade it to a bigger drive, as I have several computers all backing up to the same disk (and, in any event, I have a sneaky suspicion the drive is about to fail). I'm...

    Connecting HD to IMac as TimeMachine

    Hi, I have a macbook pro, I want to connect wirelessly to my IMac with an external HD and use it as my time machine backup. Will this cause massive read/writes on the hard drive in the IMac as well as the time capsule? Or is there a chance it will bypass the IMac's hard drive and write...

    New router for wireless Time Machine backups?

    Hi folks, I'm looking to replace my first-generation Time Capsule (circa 2008) with something new that supports 802.11ac. I'd like to keep the convenience of wireless Time Machine backups, but the most recent Time Capsule is really expensive (~$300) and likely to be discontinued soon. Is there...

    Time Machine on SMB network drive

    Hello guys, I have a Netgear Nighthawk 7500v2 with a USB HDD connected to it. I formatted it using Apple's Mac OS Plus + GUID and my Netgear picks it up no problem. The issue is that to connect to it, the SMB protocol seems to be the only way, and Time Machine refuses to see it. Is there any...
