User Manual

Starting in ReadyNAS OS 6.2, in addition to a shared Time Machine that can be used
by any Mac account, you can also configure individual accounts to use their own private
Time Machines. An account can use the shared Time Machine or its private Time Machine,
but not both. A shared Time Machine and private Time Machines can exist on the same
ReadyNAS.
When configuring a shared Time Machine, you set up a specific user name and password.
All users of the shared Time Machine use this user name and password when connecting
from Time Machine on the Mac. All users of the shared Time Machine are allowed equal
access to all data in the shared Time Machine.
An account using a private Time Machine must exist on the ReadyNAS. You can configure
an existing ReadyNAS account to use a private Time Machine, or add the account directly
in the Private Time Machine section of the Time Machine page (Backup > Time
Machine). The space for a private Time Machine is part of the account's home folder
and is invisible to other users of the ReadyNAS.
Back Up Your Mac Using a Private Time Machine
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.
To back up your Mac:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
