Time machine not working

[anttech]

I am trying to setup a new mac with time machine backup using freeness but keep getting the following error on my mac

The backup disk image “/Volumes/Time/Anthony Lear’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be created (error (null)).

I can see the drive and can access it but time machine backups fail

anyone able to help.

Thanks

FreeNAS version? Hardware? Dataset/share configuration? Permissions?

Time Machine backups under OS X Yosemite to FreeNAS 9.3 do work, from personal experience--I have two Macs running Yosemite doing so. The odds are, then, that there's something in your configuration that isn't right. But you say it's "all set right", so I guess it's just magic or cosmic rays or something.

can you tell me your settings

Did you use the Wizard to create the time machine share? That should "just work".
