Time machine mount failed

I have been using a nas to back up my mac, but i have purchased anew one and i get to the screen where it asks for my encrypted backup password, (which i know is correct because i did this earlier then cancelles the restore when i saw the backup was 15days old as my other mac was dead) and upon entering my password i see the text mount failed under my backup

If you're encountering an issue where your backup is failing to mount when restoring from a NAS device, there are a few potential solutions you can try:

  1. Check network connectivity: Ensure that your Mac is connected to the same network as the NAS device and that you have a stable connection. You may want to try restarting your network equipment, including your router and NAS device.
  2. Check NAS settings: Check that the NAS device is set up correctly and that it is configured to allow the restore process. Make sure the device is visible and accessible on your network.
  3. Check backup settings: Ensure that the backup settings are correct and that the backup you're trying to restore is available and accessible on the NAS device.
  4. Check disk space: Make sure there is enough disk space available on your Mac to accommodate the restore process. If your Mac's hard drive is full, you may need to free up some space before attempting the restore.
  5. Try a different restore method: If the issue persists, you may want to try restoring your backup using a different method. For example, you could try restoring from a Time Machine backup or using a different backup software.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to contact the manufacturer of your NAS device or consult with a professional technician for further assistance.
