ReadyNAS OS 6.7 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 Shared 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 shared 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 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 Shared Time Machine Enable slide switch is not already set to On, set it to On. 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. Backup and Recovery 251
