Time Machine not working with Yosemite

I recently upgraded (clean install) from OS X Mavericks to Yosemite. Before upgrading, I backed up my MacBook Pro via Time Machine on a network server (QNAP.) Yosemite is up and running now, however, I am unable to access folder history via Time Machine. Yosemite recognizes the historical backups, however, when I select a specific date in Time Machine, nothing happens.


Is anyone else experiencing this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hi,


Little late, but I wonder if you ever got a solution. I am still having this issue. Even more: I don't see anything useful via Finder. I can only see the sparse bundle with a couple of small files inside. No backups to be seen. TM is backing up, though, at least is is saying it is. So I hope I never need a restore. It's pretty useless as it is. Don't know about El Capitan.

Unfortunately it is not solved. The problem still exists in 10.10.5


At best TM will take for ever before showing a directory content. Trying to expand a directory will easily take minutes, if it ever happens. I would not call that "solved". Why it should take so long to read data from an ethernet attached Time Capsule beats me, as does the apparent difficulty to really solve this.
