Has TM lost years of backups?
This warning appeared: “There was a problem connecting to the server ‘lacie-2big-nas.local’. The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again.”
Checked and no more backups on TM. Then, today a backup completed. TM shows one backup completed this morning, but no backups in TM before that.
I’ve been using my Lacie 2Big 4TN 2.0 NAS as my backup disk for 20 months w/o previous problem. It backs up my directly connected iMac, MBA (via next network), and a 1 TB backup disk with iPhoto Library and other photos.
The Lacie appears in Finder window. So, not sure why I am getting this warning.
More important, have I really lost all previous back-ups? How did that happen?
Almost year ago, I posted here about warning that TM having trouble copying files and that should run disk utility. Response to that problem was to dump LaCie, and get apple products that can’t do a wire and wireless backup and no RAID. This isn’t same problem, but i hope this isn’t a similar conflict between apple and LaCie.
Thanks for any help.
OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iMac (10.9.5) and MBA (10.9.5)
