Backing up Macs with Time Machine
You can use Time Machine to back up a Mac client computer to the px6-300d network storage device.
Follow the instructions below to set up Time Machine backups to your px6-300d:
1. Connect your Mac to your px6-300d using Apple File Protocol (AFP). You can do this using
LenovoEMC Storage Manager for Mac or Bonjour.
2. Mount the Backup Share from the px6-300d network device.
If you want to create a new Share for Time Machine backups, you can do so using the px6-300d
Management Console. Mount the Share you want to use before proceeding to the next step.
3. Select System Preferences... from the Apple Menu.
4. Select Time Machine (listed under System).
5. Click ON to enable Time Machine.
6. From the list of available drives, choose the desired Share on your px6-300d, then click Use for
Backup.
7. Time Machine will automatically create the sparsebundle image under the selected Share and
begin backing up your computer to your network storage device. After the initial backup, Time
Machine backs up files every hour.
Time Machine uses a single destination drive for backups. If you have previously set up another
drive for Time Machine backups and want to change to use the px6-300d network device, click
Select Disk, then choose the desired Share on your px6-300d.
