If you own a Synology NAS, Synology supports Time Machine and provides a support page on how to use your NAS for backups. Network Storageīacking up to a network attached storage device can be tricky because Time Machine works only with certain volume types. You’re then asked by Time Machine to enter the username and password for your destination Mac. Click Select Disk, then choose the backup share on the destination Mac and click Use Disk. Open the Time Machine preferences on the Mac you want to back up. You should then see the shared folders on that Mac, including the backup folder you set up.
You then connect the two computers by opening Finder on the Mac you wish to back up and double-clicking the destination Mac listed under Network.Įnter the username and password for the destination Mac and click Connect. To use another Mac as your backup destination, you’ll need to create a shared folder on it to serve as the backup location. If the disk isn't formatted to support the Mac and Time Machine, you’re asked to erase the disk first. Open System Preferences and go to Time Machine > Select Backup Disk, then select the drive and click Use Disk. In the case of an external drive, plug it into your Mac and make sure its icon appears on the desktop.
