Any HP mediasmart users out there? I recently added an EX490 to my network to house the backups for my three Macs and double as a more flexible NAS than my Time Capsule.
I managed to corrupt the Time Machine image for one of my Macs by shutting down during a wireless backup.
I found the following blog post on how to repair a corrupt sparsebundle, but the .macbackup does not seem to be attachable using hdiutil as in their examples http://blog.jthon.com/?p=31
"file" reports the .macbackup as
so it looks like a disk image, but hdiutil attach -nomount -readwrite comes back with "hdiutil: attach failed - not recognized" even for the files that are not corrupted.
Anyone know how to get in to the .macbackup file? For now I've turned Time Machine off and stopped the backup disk in the mediasmart preference panel.
What does the "start" backup disk in the HP mediasmart connector preferences actually do?
EDIT: The problem seems to have been deeper/different than I thought. This AM when I got back to it the EX490 would not let me access the console, but everything else was working and all three Macs were unable to back up. After reboot, everything is back to normal. Sigh. Windows.
I still want to know how to access the data in the .macbackup files without needing the HP connector software in case anyone knows...
