ReadyNAS OS 6.4 To back up data on your Mac to your ReadyNAS system using Time Machine: 1. Log in to your ReadyNAS. 2. Select Backup > Time Machine. 3. If the Enable Shared Time Machine check box is not already selected, select it. 4. Change the default user name and password. The default user name is ReadyNAS and the default password is the login password for the ReadyNAS. You use these credentials later when connecting to the ReadyNAS from the Mac. 5. 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 240.) 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. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. 7. On your Mac OS X computer, launch Time Machine. The Time Machine window opens. 8. Click the Add or Remove Backup Disk button. A pop-up window lists available disks, including your ReadyNAS system.
