The DataGuard Appliance can be used with Time Machine, a backup

utility included with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7. To create a Time

Machine backup, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your Mac is running and connected to the same network

as the DataGuard Appliance.

2. Set up a Logic Drive to be used for each client’s Time Machine backup.

3. From the NAS tab, click the Local Backup then click the Time

Machine Backup tab.

4. Check the Enabled box.

5. The Display Name and the User Name can not be modiﬁed.

6. Enter the Password of the user account.

7. Choose a Mount Point from the pull-down menu. This will be the

Logical Drive that will hold the Time machine Backup. Each client

will use their own Logical Drive and this setting will need to be

changed for each user.

8. Enter the amount of storage space in GB allowed for the Time

Machine Backup. Entering 0 will give no limit. Entering too little will

trigger an error and incomplete back up.

9. Click the Save button.

The newly mounted drive should appear on the desktop, and in the

Finder labeled with the user account login user name.

For instructions on conﬁguring Time Machine, refer to Apple

documentation.
