OSX Server Time Machine Stuck on Loading

Hi All,

I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini on Mavericks, hooked up to a Drobo Pro, which provides the space for Time Machine server to back up a load of office computers. While the schedualed backups are running on every computer just fine, the information provided from the Server app pane does not appear to work.

When launching the Server app, and clicking on Time Machine:

1) Loading appears, and stays on screen for much longer than expected

2) Error reading settings appears, with error code 0

3) Clicking "Continue" correctly proceeds to show the backup destinations, but under the "Backups" tab, there appears to be "No Backups to Display" which is incorrect.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Kind Regards,

Chris

I have this exact same problem and the same setup basically (Drobo 5D for me) - have you figured anything out yet on this?

It sounds as if it is the same, or closely related, to this thread Time Machine Service Page in Server App says "Error Reading Settings"

Another Drobo user here with the same issue. Mine is an older Drobo 2nd gen. I also seem to be having issues with users backing up. Backup times are ridiculous.
