Can't connect time machine on previous NAS disk

Hi, i just update my MBP to Lion 10.7.
But from now, i can't backup with Time machine to my Lacie D2 Network 2. It was working with os 10.6.
I can see and open disk using SMB in finder but Time machine can't connect (TM see the ethernet disk). TM ask me to enter password and then say the version of the server is not supported...
Is there a solution to connect again before having an update from Lacie or Apple?
Thanks a lot

I raised a ticket with Lacie as well, below is an excerpt from the Lacie Lion compatability link they directed me to:
Cause: The LaCie NAS OS does not support Time Machine with Mac OS X Lion.
Solution: Use Mac OS X 10.6.x or earlier when using Time Machine to back up your Mac to a LaCie network hard drive.
Their solution is to downgrade the OS...  Shame!

  • Moving time machine backups to another disk

    I'm trying to move my time machine backups one external drive to another.  I'm getting an error that says "The backup can’t be copied because the backup volume doesn’t have ownership enabled."
    I was told I had to check off Ignore Permissions for this disk but I have no idea where to do that. it is not in GET INFO. I am using Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas how I can copy the time machine files from one disk to another?
    Thanks.

    I recommend doing as I suggested. Cloning is the only correct way to backup a Time Machine backup drive. If you have data on the other drive you don't wish to lose then create a new partition on that drive. See the following:
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive.  I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed.  Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

    When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

  • Can I use time machine to back up via a hard drive connected by USB to a HomeHub router?

    Can I use time machine to back up via a hard drive connected by USB to a BT HomeHub router? Is there a better way to back up and store files than via the USB port on my new MacBook Pro? I'd like storage to be accessible from my earlier version MacBook too.

    I think you want to make backups without connecting a hard disk via USB. In other words, you want to have the data storage be shared in your home wirelessly.
    If this is the case, I recommend using a Time Capsule.
    Time Capsule works great with Time Machine. You can set up all your devices to automatically make backups on the Time Capsule wirelessly and effortlessly.

  • I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfully use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme?  Some forums say yes, some say no.

    I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfuly use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme.  Some forums say yes, some say no.  I'm also curious about formatting the hard drive to work both on my wife's MacBook Pro and my PC.  Any help would definitely be appreciated.

    You may be going on a recollection, that I share, that at one time Apple stated this would be possible:
    In fact, Apple’s Time Machine Web page touted this very capability as recently as last Tuesday, as you can see from Google’s October 16 cache of the page
    Effortless meets wireless. With a hard disk connected to your AirPort Extreme Base Station, all the Macs in your house can use Time Machine to back up wirelessly. Simply select your AirPort Disk as the backup disk for each computer and the whole family can enjoy the benefits of Time Machine.
    But if you look at the current Time Machine page on Apple’s Web site, that text is nowhere to be found.
    That was a long time ago, it has never been officially implemented, and at present they specifically say it cannot be done.
    In summary, it may work, but probably won't, and even if it does it may not be reliable.

  • Can the time capsule be used as both a time machine backup and NAS storage

    Can the time capsule be used as both a time machine backup and NAS storage?   I want to use the drive as external, wireless storage for all of my files so all my PCs, MACs and iOS devices can access the files.  Plus, I want to use the drive for backing up my iMac via time machine.  Can the time capsule device be used for both these purposes simultaneously?  If not, are the other suggestions on how I can do this?

    Can the time capsule device be used for both these purposes simultaneously? 
    It can, but is really not recommended. Sooner or later there will be a fight for space on the drive between Time Machine and the other files.
    If you have plenty of free space on the drive, you can do this......but.....have you thought about how you will back up the "other" files that are stored on the Time Capsule?

  • How can I make Time Machine use the ethernet cable to Time Capsule instead of the wireless connection? Wireless is too slow; has been taking 40 hours to create an initial 142 GB backup.

  • Can't view time machine backups from old computer on new computer

    My macbook pro laptop recently died and I am trying to access its time machine backup data through Finder on a different computer.  In each one of my folders from different dates, however, the majority of the computer folders I would like to access (i.e. desktop, documents, dropbox, etc) have a little red "no" sign in the corner and prompt the following message when selected:
    "The folder “FolderName” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents"
    How can I gain permission to see its contents? As the former user, I know whatever passwords are restricting these files, but I don't know how/where to go to give permission to these folders. I've tried going into Disk Utility and changing the permissions there, but to no avail, despite successful changing of the "Sharing & Permissions" to "Read & Write" for all listed accounts.
    I'm currently trying to view this on an imac OSX 10.6.8. The dead MacBook pro ran OSX
    thanks

    Hi Kate,
    It sounds like you're running into an issue trying to recover that was on your previous Mac from a Time Machine backup. The article linked below will walk you through the process of recovering the data from your older Mac's Time Machine backup.
    OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    Time Machine or other disk migration
    If Migration Assistant isn't running on the target (new) Mac, open Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities/), select "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" then click Continue.
    Connect your external hard drive if necessary.
    Type in your admin password when prompted and click OK.
    When the target Mac asks you for a migration method, select "From a Time Machine backup or other disk", then click Continue.
    Select the Drive, Time Machine backup, or Time Capsule. If you select Time Capsule you will be prompted to enter the Time Capsule password. After entering the password, select the Time Machine backup.
    Close all other applications on the source Mac, then click Continue to start the migration options.
    The source Mac will ask you to select items to migrate.
    You can customize your selection by clicking to open the disclosure triangles.
    After you click Continue, the Migration Assistant will begin to transfer files to the target Mac. The amount of time that it takes for migration to complete depends on the amount of data being transferred and the speed of the network.
    Note: To view documents that were migrated, choose Log Out from the Apple () menu, then login as the migrated user. The migrated documents will be located in the migrated user's home folder.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can I Use Time Machine Restore Files to a New Computer?

    I use Time Machine to backup my data to an external drive. Let's say that my computer crashes and I buy a new computer with Leopard installed.
    Two Questions:
    If I plug my Time Machine drive into the new computer, will I be able to recreate the old files and settings? Or does Time Machine only work to restore information on a specific computer?
    If Time Machine WILL restore the documents onto a new computer, what happens if the first computer is Power PC and the new one is Intel?
    Thanks!

    Yes - see my comments below regarding "Migrating User Data From One Mac to Another".

    No

    Then you should choose to Migrate your personal data over but NOT Applications. They may likely not be compatible with the new system.
    *_Migrating User Data From One Mac to Another_*
    *Firewire Disk Mode*
    If you have a FireWire cable, you can connect one Mac to the other via FireWire Disk Mode. Then use Migration Assistant to transfer all of your files and applications over from the older Mac. It should result in a virtually identical setup as your previous Mac. Follow the instructions in this KB article:
    “How to use FireWire target disk mode”
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    *Using Time Machine Before Initial Launch of New Mac*
    Before starting the new Mac for the first time, attach the hard disk that contains the Time Machine backups from the old Mac.
    Start the new Mac and begin the setup process. At some point it will ask you if you would like to Migrate/Import user data from another computer or a Time Machine backup disk. Follow the prompts and select the date of the backup you would like to restore your user data from. Once the migration is complete use Disk Utility to repair any permissions issues.
    *Using Time Machine After Initial Launch of New Mac*
    If you have already created a User Account on the new Mac using a DIFFERENT Username and Password from the old Mac, then do the following:
    Attach the hard disk containing the previous Macs' Time Machine backups to the new computer.
    Go to Applications --> Utilities --> and launch Migration Assistant.
    At the welcome dialogue click "Continue." You may be required to enter your Admin password.
    For Migration Method chose "From a Time Machine backup or other disk".
    Select the hard disk containing the previous Time Machine backups. (Give Migration Assistant some time as it scans the disk for eligible data to migrate.)
    Now select which User Accounts you would like to migrate over.
    However, if you have already created a User Account on the new Mac using the SAME Username and Password as the old Mac, then you will need to do this:
    Create a new User Admin Account on the new Mac with a completely unique name.
    Now, delete the first User Account you created on the new Mac - The one that is identical to the old Mac. (Of course, backup any important files that were created using the new User Account before deleting it.)
    Finally, use Migration Assistant as described above to move the old User Account data over from the Time Machine backups.
    *Full Backup After Restore*
    Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338)

  • Overnight Time Machine Backup to NAS

    Mid 2013 MBA on Yosemite
    Ill start with I don't know if this is even possible or if it would work but..
    How I currently have my Time Machine configured is on a .sparsebundle on a mounted network drive connected to my router. Have an automator program that automatically connects my MBA to the network drive and mounts the .sparsebundle that my TM is connected to, when I login to the computer (just opening the lid and waking the computer). It works flawlessly when awake.
    I use the drive for other items, not only the TM Backup, so I always want it mount and run when I login. I would love to have the TM Backup run at night using the Power Nap.
    So I guess my question would be, is it possible when Power Nap wakes the MBA for network access at night (normally does TM Backups when on power adapter) to have the network connect and drive mount to run the TM Backup?
    If that all makes sense.. Thanks in advance for any advice. 

    A third-party NAS is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know this isn't what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the NAS as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
    Apple has published a specification for network devices that work with Time Machine. None of the third-party NAS vendors, as far as I know, meets that specification. They all use the incomplete, obsolete Netatalk implementation of Apple Filing Protocol.
    If you want network backup, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
    Otherwise, don't use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to back up, though none of them is anywhere near as efficient or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Time Capsule, External HDD as NAS, Time Machine Backup the NAS

    Can I attach an external HDD to Time Capsule to use as a NAS? Then can I use Time Machine on my Macbook to backup both my Macbook and the NAS drive to the HDD in the Time Capsule?

    Can I attach an external HDD to Time Capsule to use as a NAS?
    Yes. Although it will not exactly be a NAS with its own "brains".
    Then can I use Time Machine on my Macbook to backup both my Macbook and the NAS drive to the HDD in the Time Capsule?
    No. In order to back up the hard drive using Time Machine, the drive must be connected to your Mac, not the Time Capsule.

  • Can I use Time Machine to back files on an External Hard Drive

    My MacBook Pro hard drive filled up with movies, pictures, and music, so I bought a 2TB Time Capsule.  I have a external hard drive that is about the same capacity as my MacBook hard drive. Sine the Time Capsule is by far the largest drive I have, I moved all my movies, music, and pictures to the Time Capsule and am using it as an external hard drive.  I attached a 500GB external hard drive to the Time Capsule and I use that as the backup drive for Time Machine. However, the problem I am encountering is that I can't seem to direct Time Machine to include all of my files on my Time Capsule in the back up on to the other external hard drive. 
    Can I use Time Machine to backup data that I store on my Time Capsule to a external hard drive?  If not, what is hte best method for backing up my files that are on my Time Capsule?
    Thanks,
    David

    You need to use a different utility .. eg CCC or Chronosync to backup from the TC to yet another drive.. the problem is, that drive should be connected to the computer.. if you use a USB drive on the TC.. the file copying will be slow as slow as you will not believe.. all files are copied to the computer, then back to the TC.. it cannot copy directly to the TC..
    As Neil said.. one way or another you need to use an external drive on the computer, even if you don't use it all the time.. the danger of course is not doing regular backups.. and forgetting their importance.
    A true NAS will have automated backup incrementally of the files stored.. The TC is not a NAS in that sense.. it is a backup target for TM above and beyond anything else.

  • Can i use time machine with a airport extreme and a external hard drive

    I have connected a hard drive to my airport extreme.
    Now i would like to use time machine to back up my computers, and would like to do this on the hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme.
    Next step is that i would like to be able to approach my external hard drive via the internet.
    Is this possible or not?

    Both are possible. However, Apple does NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks attached to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). Doing so will potentially lead to data corruption and is highly not recommended. Please check out this excellent Pondini article for more details. This article also provides the Apple Support references that states Apple's position. Bottom line? If your backups are critical to you, then you may want to rethink your backup solution.
    As far as accessing the AirPort Disk from the Internet, the following is the basic steps to do so:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn, and then, note the IP address shown.
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
    Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
    Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
    Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
    From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
    Enter the Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
    Click Connect.
    You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
    Click Connect.

  • Time Machine and Iomega NAS - The operation couldn't be completed. Error 2

    Hi - I sure hope someone is able to help?
    I have just purchased an Iomega Storcenter IX2-200 4TB NAS device.
    I have tried to use it as a TimeMachine device but when I select the TimeMachine disk from the preferences panel I receive the error 'The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)'
    I have not created any users etc, the device is as it came out of the box. The TimeMachine disk automatically appeared in the Finder when I connected the IX2
    Is there a 'special' userid/pw I should be using for the TimeMachine? When prompted for those details from the TM preferences I use admin/<password> and receive the above error - any other entry results in a message stating that the userid/password info is incorrect.
    I don't want to return it because I see it as a useful device to back up my three Macs.
    If anyone is able to help they will be my friend for life!!
    Kind regards,
    Dave.

    The anwser is quite simple. Enter the Storcenter's configuration page en go to "settings", "Back up" and " Time Machine". When you configured the NAS correctly there is a + button roughly in the middle of the page.
    Press this button and enter the name of the Mac and the ethernet/mac adress (this is the adress of the network adapter you use to connect to the network, something like aa.11.bb.22.cc.33, can be found on the advanced section of the networkadapter settings). Click "ok", log off and close the window. You can now configure time machine using the administrators name and password.

  • Can't access Time Machine settings when AirPort (WiFi) is on.

    Problem:
    My iMac (2.66 MHz Inter Core Duo) with 10.5.8 needs an upgrade to Maverick...it is connected to my home network with AirPort
    I have a NAS on my home network (Verbatim MediaShare 2TB) wired connected, which I have had working as a drive for TM-backups. It stopped working with TM about 1,5 year ago, did never figure out why, backups just failed.
    Now I want to get it going again for a fresh backup prior to the OS upgrade.
    The issue I am facing now is that I cant access the settings for the backup drive in TM settings as the AirPort is on.
    I need AirPort on to be able to mount the drive of the NAS, but then I cant access TM-settings. If I switch of AirPort temporarly to access TM-settings the drive which I need to select is dismounted.
    I am kind of stuck. Why is this happening?
