Mac OSX 10.7 Lion and TimeMachine

[Credo]

Well, I upgraded my Macs to Lion and now TimeMachine drive is NO LONGER visible from within my time machine settings. Before the upgrade it worked like it was a true time machine.

Anyone else come across this and have a fix?

Thanks in advance.

There is no fix as of yet that i know of the reason as far as i know this is happening is that lion uses a different version of netatalk. Apparently thier is a probdem accessing info from a snow leopard time macine backup as well.

Confirmed on No TimeMachine Devices

I'm running two 10.7 and a 10.6x Mac OS X boxes. None can see my FreeNAS server.

Since this is the only reason I have a FreeNAS installation does history show this might be fixed soon?

With Snow Leopard My time Machine was running like clockwork! I was so happy with it! There's another posting in this forum of other people who are going through the same things - they posted a couple of fixes:

Thanks for the links Credo. Unfortuantely it doesn't look good for me. One of my mbp's is still Snow Leopard and it also can't see the freeNAS server/share at all. I'm wondering if Apple updated something for 10.6.x too.

FreeNAS looked very promising. I hate to ask here, but what alternatives are there? :p

Regarding TimeMachine and MacOS X Lion the only alternatives at the moment are:
* Apple Time Capsule
* an USB drive for your mbp

All other (free) alternatives base on the same code (=> netatalk)

Time Machine Everywhere 2.0.1 was released today. I tried it, it did not work for me. But hopefully it will work soon enough.

Netatalk 2.2 is available now on sourceforge, and that fixes the TimeMachine problems. Just need to wait until it gets incorporated into FreeNAS. Hopefully very very soon, at least in a beta.. I'm dying over here, had to put direct attached drives on all my machines for time machine.

That's awesome news - let's hope it get's updated soon! :)

Solution found, I used the latest night build from Freenas: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8-nightly/FreeNAS-8r7209-amd64.iso/download
used AFP and made a apple share.
Time Machine Found a disk to use….

fjkaauw,

haven't had time yet to try the latest build, but just wanted to know if the TM-Volume was advertised automatically, or did you have to mount it first before timemachine could "see" the disk?

Cheers

the TM-Volume was advertised automatically
not needed to mount it first...
Mij Back-up is running at the moment :)
