How to ruin your day:
- Try to turn on your Macbook and find it dead.
- Send it for replacement.
- Boot up the good old Macbook from the bottom of the wardrobe.
- Start the migration assistant
- Be happy that it found your time machine backup on NAS.
- Enter the encryption key for the backup
- Be happy you've done that on a first try as why would they support the password managers or at least the copy/paste...
- Begin the NW transfer and wait.... WAIT
- Find out it's deadly slow, do some googling and check whether you still support SMB1 on NAS
- Shit - you do - so stop the process, disable SMB1 and start over 4-6, because on 7 you get "Mount failed".
- Try the encryption key again, again and AGAIN, still "mount failed"
12-1024. Restarts, googling, backing out to SMB1, first friend on a phone, second, third... still F...ing "mount failed".
I'm out of reasons, the sparsbundle works, you can mount it, decrypt it, even get some data via time-machine itself, but that bloody migration assistant doesn't ever works correctly again.
