Normally Time Machine will mount the drive, do the backup and then
dismount the drive. There should be nothing preventing you from also
mounting the same drive yourself and poking around in it. As far as URL
formatting, if you really want to you can embed the password after the
username separated by a colon. So to mount my drive I would do something
like
afp://cblouch:[email protected]
where you would replace that made up IP with the IP or DNS name of your
machine.

hoi Chris and others,
thx for the response.
With command+k,
I have just discovered that username@ip-adres brings also up the login as
dialoge.
But, the pasword, I can’t give as a parameter.
But next to that, and if I understand well of you, the backups are not ready to
browse in the finder if no backup is made on that moment.
Is this right?
Kind regards,
William Windels

Hmm. I do network time machine backups to another Mac which shares out a disk
image on its external drive so I can control the amount of space time machine
sucks up. So my time machine backup volume just pops up on my desktop while
running and then goes away. The first time I back up to this remote volume time
machine prompt me for the username and password, which is just the same
credentials I use via command-K to mount the volume. Once mounted I can meander
through the directory tree of time machine backups.

Hello all,
I try to explain further:
I new already that I could see connected servers in the finder e.g. with
command+shift+k.
And that I can delete them like a usb-disc with command+e.
But the situation here is something else/more complicated:
I want to mount my remote time-machine that is stored on a nas-partition.
For all the data-partitions on the nas, I login wit user william and a pasword.
But, a remote time-machine needs a other login and pasword so that the
Time-Machine program on the mac can use this partition for automatic backups.
With command+k I could type a adres but I don’t know how to specify a username
and paswoord so that I can login correctly for time-machine.
But after all, Perhaps I don’t need it anymore since mounting a remote
time-machine-backup as a folder in the finder seems not possible. I mean: the
folder-structure is visible in the finder while time-machine is making a
backup. If Time-Machine finish backing up, the folder to mount in the finder
isn’t longer valid.
The only alternative to use time-machine with a remote disc is to use the
time-machine program. This is mostly accessible I think but not so comfortable.
If there are any hints to mount a remote time-machine as a local folder
structure with all the backups, it would be nice to hear of you.
Many thanx for all the given reactions already.

Good point. I can't recall if the default is to show network drives on the
desktop or if I changed that preference sometime in the past.

Hi,
Not sure why the Disconnect button is not working for you as I’ve used it
myself in the past. further to what Chris already mentioned, if you go to the
Finder, press cmd-comma to bring up the Finder Prefs, then in the General pane,
make sure that the checkbox is checked for Show Connected Servers, any network
drives will show up as an icon on your Desktop whereby the cmd-e for Eject
works to logout and cmd-k can be used easily for logging into these network
connections.
Later…

Network drives should show up just link physical local drives. You can select
them and then eject them with command-E. After that you can use command-K to
connect to another (or the same) server again with the same (or different)
credentials. You can't connect to the same server multiple times with different
credentials concurrently.

Hello all,
I am curious if the procedure to login on a network-drive is accessible.
In my situation, I am logged in on a network-drive but I should be able to
disconnect the remote disk and login with another user.
In the finder, I can see a disconnect button next to the name of the user that
is used for login in to the disc.
But this button can’t be activated with voiceover (vo+space)
Any hints to login with another user on a remote disc are very welcome.
Kind regards,
William Windels
