Yes i tested it again after disabling AFP. i managed to get the first, complete backup but then the FileShare dedicated to TimeMachine gets unaccessible, either for the TimeMachine app but also just trying to access it from finder.
It's possible to access again the file share only by making it public, because using the username and password would give error
(username and password for the fileshare is necessary for the backup to get it started, because trying to backup in the first place with public file share would fail and the program would say that wasn't possible to create the backup disk)
By making it public it's possible to see the .sparseboundle file created, but as size "--" and no content if checking with "show content".
It's worth noting that if checked from the administration panel of the nas the space gets occupied, but either TimeMachine program or finder cant access the fileshare again after backup completition. or if you access it like making it public the backup has no size in finder, and in TM window also its not seen, indeed would show 895GB of free space when should see 90gigs less.
after the first backup, wich teoretically completes up correctly (was weird because it was showing 10 minutes and then skipped to completed), can be also seen from TM windows the day and hours when done and even "enter time machine" window works. The problem is when you try to get another backup it would say that the nas is not available right now, and also finder would fail to access it (also after a reboot, of both mac and nas)
Edit:
I forgot to mention that in previous testing if the TM fileshare is being accessed while the backup is created everything is ok, the disk file is there, HAS the right size, wich increses while the backup progresses, and has content.
