You have 2 choices.

1. Start a new backup, which means wait while the old backups are purged from the NAS, then wait while the 400GB of data is backed up over the LAN to my ReadyNAS
2. “Back up later”.  Ignore the problem and hope it fixes itself over the next day.  And while you wait, you have no backup

Thank you apple, for the choices.  Grumble grumble.

Start your downloads folks

Steve, you changed the way people look at computers, software, music and more. You will be missed.

NETGEAR is pleased to announce the release of RAIDiator 4.1.8, the latest firmware for the ReadyNAS Duo and NV+ network attached storage product lines.  This release is also designed to work with older Sparc-based ReadyNAS products, including ReadyNAS 600, X6, NV, 1000S, and 1100.

New features and enhancements

1. Added support for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”.
2. Added warning when NFS access to home shares is enabled.
3. Added a redirect for http://<host>/ip to https.
4. Added enhancements to advanced AFP permission settings.
5. Provide download links for exported users and groups instead of asking for email.
6. Updated ReadyNAS Remote to the latest revision.

My NV+ has been my Time Machine target for a long time.  Although it stopped working with OSX Lion, a beta version was released within days that addressed the issue.  Happy to see a supported Fimware Release is available as of today.

Updating as I type this.

Steve leaves and things just start falling apart.

I was all dizzy with excitement when “a new update” was available.  Nope… not iOS5 yet.

10.22pm.  Starting install.  I will let you know when I am done.

10.28pm.  Install finished and restarted.  So far so good.  6minutes to upgrade an operating system.  SSD FTW!

11:00pm. Only casualties so far are GoToMeeting 4.5 and JVM, which had to be re-installed for Lotus Notes to load.  New mail client experience is excellent so far.  Trackpad gestures are very good but need rework to suit my preferences (that took 30 seconds).  So far so good.  Using in anger tomorrow.

11:30pm.  Time Machine onto ReadyNAS does not seem to be working.  Was aware this may be an issue.  Will check see if update will be available from ReadyNAS tomorrow.

9:00am My ReadyNAS NV+ is still not compatible with Lion as it is Sparc based.  Newer models need to update to the latest version of firmware.  I have local drives for TM anyway if required.  But, this morning one of the ReadyNas jedi council tweeted this.

So hopefully not too long then.

With my supercrappy virgin broadband ADSL link, this should be ready to install tonight at some stage.

Only a week (or so) before iOS5 to fix PDF exploit.

Declan Lynch was good enough to send me over his old iPhone 2g.  I never had this model, and wanted one for presentation/collection.  Very much appreciated sir.
