The first time you run a Time Machine backup on your Mac, a sparse bundle is created on your ReadyNAS
to store the backup data. The maximum size of the sparse bundle is the size that you specify when you
enable Time Machine on your ReadyNAS. (See 

 on page 227.)

After you run Time Machine for the first time, the size of the sparse bundle that stores your Mac backup
data is fixed. If you want to increase the size of the sparse bundle, you must delete the sparse bundle
and create a new Time Machine backup.
