MY BOOK LIVE USER MANUAL Mac Backups (For Mac OS) The Mac Backups section of the page allows you to configure your Apple Time Machine settings for your Mac backups. Using Mac Backups, you can indicate the maximum amount of space you'd like to use on your Time Machine to backup your files. To set your Time Machine quotas: Note: The maximum size cannot be increased after the initial backup. WD recommends leaving this setting on the maximum permissible value for your initial backup. Once the initial backup is complete, you can change this setting using the slider above. 1. Select Enable, if not already selected. 2. Select a share where you'd like to save the backup from the pull-down menu. 3. In the Maximum size field, move the slider to the maximum size setting. 4. Click Save. 5. Once your initial backup has been created, access System>Mac Backups panal again. 6. In the Maximum size field, move the slider to the maximum size setting you'd like to use for your backup. 7. Click Save. Important: Once your Time Machine begins to back up your files to a selected share, we recommend that you continue to back up to that share. Switching shares generates a new backup file which will not contain your previously saved information. CONFIGURING BASIC SETTINGS - 65
