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

The first time you run a Time Machine backup on your Mac, a sparse bundle (a Mac OS file system directory type)
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

244.)

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.

Ensure that the AFP file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
