ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Time Machine You can use Mac OS X Time Machine to back up data on your Mac computer to your ReadyNAS storage system. Back Up Your Mac Using Time Machine  To back up data on your Mac to your ReadyNAS system using Time Machine: 1. On the local admin page for your ReadyNAS, select Backup > Time Machine. 2. Set the On-Off slider so the slider shows the On position. 3. In the Capacity field, enter the maximum amount of space on your ReadyNAS storage system that you want to devote to Time Machine backups. Note: 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 Increase Your Time Machine Backup Capacity on page 264.) 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. 4. Create a password and enter it in the Password field. 5. Click the Apply button. Backup and Recovery 262
