Network backup disk does not support the required AFP features

I have a mac mini with two (4T) hard disks each set as target in TimeMachine. Backups have been made on both for some time. This afternoon one of the disks is being rejected as target volume, with the "network backup disk does not support the required AFP features" error.
The sparse image on the disk that is the actual time machine target shows a modification tim of 13:09, time machine reports the last backup on that volume as made on 13:08. It seems the last successful backup was made at that time. The other TimeMachine target volume on the same min reports a last backup at 15:28
So why an error now? What has happend in the last hour, or so, to cause the disk to no longer be suitable? Why only on one virtual disk?
The mac mini runs OS X 10.9.4 (13E28), the disk with the failing backup volume is formatted with Case-Sensitive Journaled HFS+, the still working disk Journaled HFS+.
This may be related: A couple of month ago I lost the complete backup on that disk, when time machine conclude that the contents of the target volume was corrupt. At the time I blamed that at a failed backup when I had accessed the mini over ssh using SLINK when traveling. Maybe that conclusion is wrong and this is part of the same problem.
Any pointers on how to get my second backup disk working again would be much appreciated.

The error message has disappeared!
Earlier this morning the disk has been used as target for a backup by time machine without triggering the error message. A backup 8 hours earlier has also been made to the same sparse image (looking at the folder names).

While trying to setup a time capsule backup to my MyBookLive external drive, I got the following error message: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features. What's up with this?

This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features.

I am trying to set up timeMachine on my new mac book pro over a regular home network on a shared network drive. I have tried everything but I keep getting "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features." I am on lion with the lateset unpdate (10.7.4). I have even tried creating sparebundles on from tutorial that I have found online, but non of the hacks that I have tried seemed to work. Have anyone figured out a way around this? If so, can you share, it will be greatful. I could just buy the time capsule that apple sells but I already have a 2TB internal HDD in an old pc that's hosting my file server so no need for the time capsule hardware. Let me know if there is a way around this thank.

Not just any NAS. It has to support the communications protocols used by Time Machine (some involving security, some about error detection and handling). Some NASs never supported TM; some that worked on Leopard never got updated for Snow Leopard; and some that worked on Snow Leopard still haven't been updated for Lion.
4) Another networked mac (not a pc)
A Mac running Leopard 10.5.6 or later.
Are these the only options?
Those are the only options supported by Apple. Some other destinations may work, to some degree, in some circumstances. Some require "hacks" or other workarounds. Most are somewhat unreliable, and, may stop working at all on the next OSX upgrade.
Side note. I've been seeing some online post of how some people are setting up TM on a networked PC drive by setting up a sparsebundle like this site:
Any thoughts? I have tried some of these examples and it don't seem to work...
Some of those may have worked at one time, in some circumstances (2 are dated before Lion was released, the other is undated).
Wireless backups are tricky enough to a supported destination, with all the security and error detection and handling Apple has been able to employ. If your backups are important to you, don't trust them to a marginal scheme.
And, in any event, don't trust your backups to a single piece of hardware or software. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for an explanation and some suggestions.

AFP error for new hard drive for time machine The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features.

Purchased Seagate network drive, ethernet attached to wireless router, set up went well but attempts at backup with Time Machine failed. "Do I need to erase disk and reformat or is this error message "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features" indicating some other error?

That means the NAS drive's OS isn't compatible with the version of OSX you're running. See if the maker has an update.

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing. Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.

HT3275 Time Machine gave me this message after updating to Mountion Lion "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."

After upgrading to Mountain lion, I got this message when it tried to backup to "MybookLive" network disk.
"The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."
What are AFP features and why can I now not back up to my network disk?

I had a similar issue when I tried to do a network-share backup w Time machine when the share was on a Leopard OSX G5 Power PC.
I think Time Machine looks for a minimum feature set support from the afp mounted drives so they can be used with Time Machine.
Western Digital may have to update the firmware on your device to support the new afp features.
Hope this helps.

It's not compatible with Lion. The software/firmware needs to be updated. See #C16 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server does not support the required transaction interface.

I am getting the following error when attempting to INSERT the results of an "EXEC(@MDXQuery) at SSAS LinkedServer":
The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server does not support the required transaction interface.
Here is code that illustrates what I am doing:
DECLARE @MDX varchar(max);
SET @MDX='
SELECT
[Measures].[Extended Service Count]
} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY [Organization].[By Manufacturer].[Manufacturer]
ON ROWS
FROM (
SELECT
{[Organization].[Org Tree].&[2025],[Organization].[Org Tree].&[2040]} ON 0
FROM [MyCube]
/* Test 1 */
EXECUTE(@MDX) at SSASLinkedServer;
/* Test 2 */
DECLARE @ResultsB TABLE (
Manufacturer varchar(255)
, ExtendedServiceCount float
INSERT INTO @ResultsB (Manufacturer, ExtendedServiceCount) EXECUTE(@MDX) at SSASLinkedServer;
Test 1 succeeds, returning expected results, and Test 2 fails returning the error mentioned above.
Other articles I've found so far don't seem to apply to my case. I am not creating any explicit transactions in my code. When I use OPENQUERY, I am able to do the insert just fine, but not when I use EXEC @MDX at LinkedServer.
Unfortunately in some variations of the query, I run into the 8800 character limit on OPENQUERY, so I need to use this other approach.
Any ideas?

Hi Tab,
In this case, SQL Server Analysis Services doesn’t support Distributed Transactions by design. Here is a similar thread about this issue for your reference, please see:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8b07be45-01b6-49d4-b773-9f441c0e44c9/olaplinked-server-error-msolap-for-linked-server-olaplinked-server-does-not-support-the?forum=sqlanalysisservices
One workaround is that use SQLCMD to execute the EXEC AT command and saved the results to a file, then import using SSIS.

Im trying to install a new application on my mac but it keeps on coming up with 'The volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas how to solve this?

I have recently fully updated my mac to 10.8.2 and i am trying to install a small facebook application but every time i come to chose the disk it says ' OS X facebook developer preview can not be installed on this disk. This volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas on how to get round this?
thanks

That may be the new Mountain Lion "sandbox" protective software kicking in, possibly, because ML "thinks" that App doesn't meet ML's new strict security requirements. A common phenomena. If you feel the 3rd party App is really OK, you can override this feature and install the new App by holding down the Command key when you click to install the new App. That's one possibility for the error message appearing. If not, another possibility is that that Developer Preview software package requires some previous piece of software be installed prior to downloading this Preview. You would have to check the Facebbok websiste's Developer Forums for help if this is the case.
Hope this helps

Hello,
When you insert data from SQL Server into a linked server, then a distributed transaction should be started and here it seems this fails.

The new 5.0 does not support the fox tab feature that I love and I need a similar compatible add on -- which do you suggest?

I just uploaded firefox 5.0, which does not support the top sites feature I've used so happily. Is there a similar add on that does work with 5.0? I feel like I'm blind!

The author of the Fox Tab extension has released version 1.4.3 which does, in fact, work with Firefox 5. It hasn't been formally reviewed yet, which is why you don't see it in the extension gallery by default. To get to it, click below:

Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7

Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7.
You are supposed to be able to take panoramic photos and then set them as your lock screen background.
Then you can move your phone around to see the full photo.
My i5 doesn't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe this was removed in the later betas of IOS 7. It may make a reappearance in a future update.
It was mentioned at WWDC when iOS 7 was announced, but there is no mention of it on the Apple website.

If you have the Late 2012 Mac mini, it requires a special OS X update that it's not available. Wait until Apple releases this update
