RTFM still applies. The challenge is that with downloaded software and no printed manual people don't bother to read the instructions with the software or online. And the people who don't then come here and complain or ask for directions that are in the online manuals. The fact that there are more TM complaints than for CCC and SD just means that because it's included and free, TM gets more users who try it. In the case of this particular thread, the issue is that the TP-Link does not support the connections that TM and CCC both want to see, so they do not work. And no amount of fiddling is likely to get them to work with the TP-Link. The core issue is the TP-Link, not TM or CCC.I like TM. It does what it does well. And I did RTFM. I also like CCC. It does what it does well. And I did RTFM for it, too.I don't like SD, but I did RTFM and it also can only use a networked drive if it's formatted to suit SD and even then it uses disk image and sparsebundle for the backup, so it, too, probably cannot be used with the TP-Link.So, all three say they don't work with all NAS devices. Can't get much clearer than that.</blockquote>
