Netgear RN212 – 2 BAY Desktop ReadyNAS Storage Guida Al Software

The first time you run Time Machine 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 in the Capacity field. Make sure that you allocate more space
than is needed so that the sparse bundle can accommodate additional data later.
If you want to increase the size of the sparse bundle, you must delete the sparse
bundle and create a new Time Machine backup. (See 

 on page 244.) After you run Time Machine for the first time, simply

changing the number in the Capacity field does not increase the size of the sparse
bundle.

Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

On your Mac OS X computer, launch Time Machine.
The Time Machine window opens.

Click the Add or Remove Backup Disk button.
A pop-up window lists available disks, including your ReadyNAS system.

Select the disk named timemachine.
The other disks are possible private Time Machine disks.

Click the Use Disk button.

When prompted, in the Name and Password fields, enter ReadyNAS or the shared Time Machine user
name and password that you created in step 

 on page 241.

Click the Connect button.
Time Machine begins the backup, which can take several minutes to start.

You can use your ReadyNAS as the disk for Time Machine backups. ReadyNAS OS supports two different
types of Time Machine targets, a single Time Machine shared by several users, and private Time Machines
used by individual users. Use this procedure for a private Time Machine.

Before performing these steps, verify that the AFP protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS. Note that it is
enabled by default.

Log in to your ReadyNAS.
