New Firmware Version 1.02.12 for the My Book World I & II (10/19/11)

After the error message time machine goes to “backup failed” status, and nothing is backed up.

I’ve never managed to get TM working before with this NAS… so I meant that I can connect in the finder either under NAS which shows under “Shared Devices”, or with NFS using “nfs://192.168.1.199/nfs/Neil” using static IP setting for user share “Neil”, or using AFP with “afp://192.168.1.199/Neil”.

It looks to me as though this part of the log is the interesting part, starting (at the bottom…) with enabling AFP:
