No available TimeMachine destinations on NAS
I have had a NAS with my wife and I for about a year with no issues. Both of us have separate TimeMachine backups on the NAS in separate folders for privacy. Recently my Mac notified me that I haven't had a backup for 12 days, so in debugging the issue I told TimeMachine to forget the drive so that I could reselect it.
However after telling TimeMachine to forget the drive, I can no longer get it to connect to any TimeMachine share drive on my NAS. My wife does not have this issue. I can still see my old TimeMachine share drive, and I can still see the sparesebundle backup. I can even open the contents and view it (although when I double-click it, nothing is mounted to my system - this is the first clue). But TimeMachine refuses to acknowledge there is a valid drive to use.
- I have tried making a new drive and telling TimeMachine to connect to that but it won't see it.
- I have disconnected from the server and reconnected and it makes no difference
- I have restarted my computer twice with no difference
- I have restarted the NAS completely and that has made no difference
- I have verified that no settings on the NAS have changed (and they haven't)
I am at a loss of what to do. My Mac no longer cooperates with my network drive and won't even make new backups anymore despite the fact I can interact with everything as normal from the Finder and there is no connection issues with my local network or with my ability to communicate with the NAS itself.
I am running macOS Sonoma 14.0 on an M1 MacBook Pro.
