Time Machine gives me a way to Browse Other Time Machine Disks, a feature that would make it possible for me to use my MacBook to retrieve material backed up by my iMac -- handy in case the iMac went belly-up. But when I try to use the feature, TM on the MacBook tells me that there are no other TM volumes visible. People here tell me that I have to mount the volume first. When I click Go/Connect to Server/Browse, I can SEE the TM volume; it's called <mydisk>-backup. But when I double click on it, I get an immediate Connection Failure window. Clicking on Connect As doesn't do anything. My TM volume is on a WD NAS volume, connected to my network by ethernet. Thanks in advance for any help you can suggest, t. |
Try to have both, the MBL and your Mac, wired to he same router or switch. You may also try resetting the MBL by holding its reset button for 4 seconds.
