Can I access my backup files inside the airport using finder?

When I tried to open some files inside the airport extreme appear this message:

The alias “Documents” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.

Someone know how to open this file? I didnt lose any file, I just want to open using AirPort.

Thanks

Airport Extreme-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

It's recommended NOT to use your AirPort Extreme for backups Mainly because the Time Machine software was not deigned to work with the AirPort Extreme and the Extreme wasn't designed to work with Time Machine. That's why Apple has the Time Capsule, for wireless backups.


Try connecting your hard drive directly to your computer.
