Hi,
I hope the question is not too stupid. But I’m not very good with technology. I have a problem with my Mac (I can not get it after a failed attempt to install the new MacOS) and need to recover the last Time Machine backup. I am currently in the Timer Machine System recovery program. Here I am to enter the address of the file server used for Time Machine backups. This is my WD MyCloud hard drive. Can someone tell me where to find this address? The important addition is that I am currently not in my Mac, there can not look.

I’m happy about every tip !!!

Best regards,
Konstanze

Hallo,

Ich hoffe die Frage ist nicht zu dumm. Aber ich kenne mich mit Technik nicht sehr gut aus (leider). Ich habe ein Problem mit meinem Mac (ich komme nach einem misslungenen Versuch das neue MacOS zu installieren nicht mehr rein) und muss das letzte Time Machine Backup wiederherstellen. Ich bin momentan im Timer Machine System Wiederherstellungsprogramm. Hier soll ich die Adresse des Datei Servers eingeben, der für die Time Machine Backups verwendet wird. Das ist meine WD MyCloud Festplatte. Kann mir jemand sagen wo ich diese Adresse finde? Der wichtige Zusatz ist, dass ich aktuell nicht in meinen Mac komme, dort also nicht schauen kann.

Ich freue mich über jeden Tipp!!!

Viele Grüße,
Konstanze

Hi John, thank you for your answer. I already could solve the problem. You just have to click on the WLAN symbol in Recovery Mode and log in again. Then the Mac finds it on the network automatically :slight_smile:
