ReadyNAS OS 6.7 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 254.) 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.

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.
