Q: Aperture vault on WD MyCloud NAS
Has anyone succeeded in creating an Aperture 3 vault on a WD MyCloud NAS? I have a new 3TB NAS and when I try to create an Aperture vault from Aperture it writes about 120 GB and then hangs. This has happened repeatedly. The total size of the library is 700 GB. Is this a disk format issue? I believe the NAS is NTFS and can't be changed.

If I backup my Aperture library to the NAS by other means (e.g., CCC) won't the backup have the same problems, such as issues with filenames, that a vault would have?
Yes, use the NAS for other files. You can store folders with documents or image files there, only not photo libraries.
