Fix Time Machine Sparsebundle NAS Based Backup Errors

Probably the most important post on this topic! Thank you!

Snippet: "This is a modification of an original post for use when you have a corrupt sparsebundle backup on a NAS (as opposed to an external drive attached to a router) and it needs to be repaired. The NAS is likely a hardware product from the likes of Netgear, Synology, Buffalo or QNap – or for those of us with a home-grown backup server running FreeNAS.The error you may see is “Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.” This can be fixed by following the below.From your Mac, connect to the network share that houses the sparsebundle.At the top level of the drive are the various sparsebundles that make up your individual computer backups.Do not double click on these sparsebundles or try to repair with Disk Utility.Open Terminal and then switch to root by typing"
