Thank you for your quick reply yesterday about my problems with Time Machine on my DS423+. I don't think I was clear with my first question and I hope I can bother you one more time. I have setup Time Machine on my DS423+ according to NAScompares instructions. When I go to TM settings in MacOS I see my new TM volume on the NAS along with my old TM volume on an external USB drive. Both are active, both have up to date snapshots. I want to verify that the NAS backups are usable before I remove the USB backup. But when I try to browse TM backups in MacOS I don't see the NAS volume, only the USB volume is browsable. It's almost as if the NAS volume has write privileges and not read privileges, is that possible? I've asked about this at Apple community and at Synology community with no help. It doesn't make sense that MacOS sees the NAS volume in TM settings but doesn't see it in TM browse mode but right now I don't know what else to try. Thanks for your help!
Maybe it is confusing which TM ir the right one. Try to reset the time machine backups with a new destination which is NAS. Nothing else is connected. Maybe this solves this. Also make sure Bonjour service is running as per this manual https://kb.synology.com/en-my/DSM/tutori...me_Machine
