ReadyNAS OS 6.4 Note There is a maximum of 16 Time Machines. The 16 can be 16 private or 15 private and 1 shared. 4. Select the user name, adjust the capacity as necessary, and click the Add button. The necessary reserved capacity depends on how the Time Machine is used, but typically it is greater than the capacity of the Mac to allow for a complete backup plus changes. 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. 5. On your Mac OS X computer, open the Time Machine preferences. 6. Click the Add or Remove Backup Disk button. A pop-up window lists available disks. 7. Select the disk named user name timemachine. 8. Click the Use Disk button. The connect window opens requesting the user name and password. 9. In the Name field, enter the user name. Backup and Recovery 239
