Hey guys,
I got my hands on this mybooklive 3tb a while ago and have been using it with my mac for timemachine backup purposes. Everything works great so far it backups and I can see the backups are there when I:
Connect to server…
afp://mybooklive.local
select guest
and mount TImeMachine (public and smartware are also listed)
My problem here is… I have realised a fatal fault in this plan. Recently my mac had gotten some kind of fatal kernel error and basically would not boot properly. I started to panik because I had to hand in some work the next day that was on it but remembered my trustly mybooklive: not so trusty. The only other type of comupter in my house would be a pc running windows 7 and I have no idea how to access the specified folder: TimeMachine on it. Eventually I just recovered the data by taking out the mac’s hardrive but I was wondering if perhaps there was some way to access the TimeMachine folder on a pc. I have tried doing drive mapping with: \ipofmybooklive\TimeMachine but to no prevail even though mounting \ipofmybooklive\public does access the public folder. Was wondering i there was any way possible to access this folder. Please share some of your thoughts on the topic :)
Ps. I have a program that can read .sparsebundles presumably but if you would like to add some names it would be greatly appreciated! …if you even can get to that part.
